Pan-seared venison with blueberries, shallots & red wine

It's not often that I cook a nice bit of venison, but it's definitely worth a try. I think you'll be surprised how much you'll like it – the meat tastes like a well-hung steak and can be very juicy. It goes so well with the fruit in this dish, and is great served with some steamed purple sprouting broccoli. Mashed potato, parsnip or celeriac go well with this too.
