½ pound morel mushrooms
1 clove garlic chopped fine
grape or current jelly
1 ½ cups sherry
Flour
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil
2 strips of bacon cut into1/4 to ½ inch pieces

Slice morels into quarters. Dry meat and toss in flower. Shake off extra flour. In a large pan add olive oil and brown venison over medium heat, salt and pepper as they brown. Do not overcook, venison should be medium rare. Remove from pan and place the venison in the oven on warm. Place bacon in pan and fry until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside. Add morels to the pan and sauté until they begin to brown. Add large spoonful of grape or current jelly. Stir until jelly begins to dissolve. Add sherry to pan and simmer until reduced, stir in butte, add back bacon and steaks bringing up the heat. Serve hot.
This venison steak recipe combines the rich earthy flavor of morels with the wonderful wild flavor of venison.
