Preparation

  1. Step 1

    With a mortar and pestle, crush green, white and black peppercorns together. Sprinkle mixture over steaks.

  2. Step 2

    In a heavy skillet, heat butter until bubbling, but before sizzling, and fry the steaks on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Pick up steaks with fork and sear the sides. Remove the fillets to a warm serving plate and put in 150-degree oven while making sauce.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, boil game stock until it is reduced to 1 cup. Pour off butter from skillet. Deglaze skillet by removing from heat, pouring in the Madeira, returning skillet to heat and, for about 2 minutes, scraping fond from skillet's sides and bottom. Lower heat and add game stock, creme fraiche and red currant jelly. Stir and simmer 2 minutes. Place venison steaks on serving platter and spoon sauce around.
