  1. To make the relish, heat the oil in a pan, add the onion, cover and leave to cook on a low heat for 15 mins. Add the mustard seeds and sugar and cook for a further 5 mins uncovered.. The onion should be softly caramelised. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for 2 more mins until syrupy. Set aside to cool.
  2. Season the steaks both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan with low fat cooking spray until sizzling, add the steaks and cook for 5-8mins, turning occasionally, until browned. Set aside.
  3. Add 3-4 tbsp of water to the pan, scraping up any bits, add the redcurrant jelly and swirl to dissolve. Serve the steaks, drizzled with the pan juices, a spoonful of relish and a selection of vegetables.

Notes

Venison is a low fat, dark red meat which is high in protein. Steaks and medallions can be pan fried or grilled whilst shoulder or leg is better stewed.
