Recipe: Seared Venison Steaks in a Cilantro, Lime, Jalapeno Sauce
This recipe was first featured on our brand partner's website—12 Gauge Girl: From Forest to Food. Lindsey is an avid hunter who is always interested in trying something new. For more of her recipes, check out her website.
Lindsey found inspiration for this recipe in a strange place: a sushi restaurant in a small mining town.
That's right. Inspiration strikes when it strikes. And hey, as long as inspiration tastes good, we don't care when or where it happens. We haven't had the chance to try this one yet from Lindsey, but we have to say it looks delicious.
Lindsey was inspired by this restaurant's commitment to using local produce. Her favorite roll is salmon based and includes asparagus, lime, cucumber, and avocado. She enjoyed the cucumber and lime's refreshing bite, and how that paired with the avocado.
