Heat a heavy-based fry pan until very hot. Season the venison steaks with cracked pepper and salt.

Rest for 2 minutes in a warm place. Add the red wine to the pan and deglaze, reduce and add the meat stock and season. Finish by gradually whisking in the cold butter over a high heat until incorporated.
