Ingredients

2 pounds cervena venison loin
salt and pepper, to taste
crushed garlic, thyme and shallots to rest the venison on for 5 minutes after grilling
olive oil for brushing
6 fillets canned anchovies
1/2 cup dark chocolate
1 pint roasted chicken jus
1 cup water
1 pound venison bones, roasted for 30-45 minutes at 425 degrees f
2 tablespoon high-quality red wine vinegar
1/2 cup fresh or frozen lingonberries or huckleberries
1 bottle samuel adams boston lager
2 large shallots

Directions

Trim the venison loin of any excess fat or silverskin, and start the grill. Brush the trimmed venison with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill the venison, turning often for even color on the outside and an internal temperature of 127 degrees F. Once fully cooked, rest the venison on a bed of crushed garlic, thyme and sliced shallots, turning often until the juices are rested. Reserve warm.
Grill the anchovies for one minute on each side and chop them very fine.
Mince the shallots and sweat them in a large sauce pan until they are translucent and without color. Deglaze the pan with one bottle of Samuel Adams Boston Lager and reduce the resulting mixture by half. Add the roasted venison bones (lamb necks or bones will work if venison bones are not available), chicken jus, and water.
Slowly simmer the bones in the sauce for 1 hour. After one hour, remove the sauce from the heat and strain it through a fine strainer. Return the strained sauce to a smaller pot and continue to simmer until the sauce just covers the back of a spoon.
Remove the sauce from the heat and season with the red wine vinegar and lingonberries. Plate the venison and top with the sauce and reserved lingonberries. Swipe the plate with the pure chocolate and serve with the Samuel Adams Boston Lager Glazed Ultra Baby White Turnips.
