Method

Season venison with salt and pepper and sear on all sides until medium-rare.

Add 290ml water, cover with buttered parchment paper, and simmer until onions are soft.

Heat a dash of oil and 14g butter in a thick-bottomed pan.

Slice the venison and serve over the ragoût on four plates.

Whisk in the remaining 120g butter and chopped rosemary to thicken the sauce.

Add bacon lardons to the onions and brown well.

Melt 40g butter in a separate pan and lightly color the button onions.

Remove meat from heat and let rest for 15 minutes.

Add peas and broad beans and cook for two minutes.
