These Silver Fern Farms Venison, Goat Cheese & Cranberry Sauce Vol-au-Vents are a great shared dish for entertaining.
While you may be tempted to bite into the delicious Silver Fern Farm venison straight away, it’s important to follow the last few tips to ensure you get a delicious flavour and tender result.
The key to this recipe is to rest the meat to lock in all the flavour before slicing the meat across the grain. This ensures the meat is tender for every bite, a must have for shared recipes, such as these Vol-au-Vents.
Sure Fire Tip #8: Rest the Meat
Once cooked, transfer the meat to a clean plate and cover loosely with foil to keep it hot, and allow it to rest for five minutes. See how patient you can be!
By taking the time to rest the meat, you’re ensuring the juices are better distributed, resulting in a more tender and flavourful bite for each guest enjoying the Vol-au-Vents.
Sure Fire Tip #5: Cut Across the Grain
Why is it important to cut across the grain? The grain of meat refers to the direction that the muscle fibres go in. By cutting across it, you slice through those fibres, resulting in pieces that are more tender and easer to chew. This is an important step when serving meat in bite size pieces as part of a shared platter, like these Vol-au-Vents.
When looking for the grain, search for small lines running in the same direction across the meat. Cut the meat in the opposite direction that the grain is running.
For a melt-in-your-mouth experience, slice thinly for maximum tenderness.
