What We Ate for Dinner: Venison and Quinoa
I tried a new recipe last night. It was from a book my friend gave me called Recipes to Lower Your Fat Thermostat. Now, I am not one for diet cookbooks, but this one has a lot of recipes for beans and the bread recipes call for whole wheat flour so I have really enjoyed reading this book. (I read recipe books in bed at night.)
I had to tweak the recipe a bit, but I liked how it turned out. Here is what I did:
1 lb. venison steak sliced
2 T. soy sauce
2 t. vinegar
2 cloves garlic
1 t. dry mustard
1/2 c. water
Marinate these ingredients in the fridge for 1 hour. Then saute them in a hot skillet, including marinade, until steak is near done. Then add:
1 can tomato soup
1 c. green onions sliced
2 c. broccoli
1 can water chestnuts, sliced
1/4 c. water mixed with 1 T. corn starch
Cook until the broccoli is tender.
I served this over quinoa cooked with some chicken bullion. It tasted delicious, but the venison was though. I don't expect venison to be anything else, so it was fine. I bet it would be better with elk.
