Preparation

Season venison steaks with pepper and brush with oil. Cook on oiled barbecue grill over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes on each side and season with salt. Do not overcook steaks, medium-rare doneness is usually preferred.

Serve over Sweet and Sour Sauce. Serve with apple quarters sautéed in butter and with spinach pasta.

Sweet and Sour Sauce:

In small saucepan, sauté shallots in butter for 2 minutes while stirring. Pour in sherry while scraping bottom with a spatula. Stir in remaining ingredients, except for orange rind and lemon rind. Bring to boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain sauce and add orange and lemon rind. Keep warm.
