Michelle's Freefrom Venison Steaks with Celeriac and Red Wine

Corn, egg, gluten, lactose, milk, nightshade, nut, peanut, sesame, soya & wheat free

I always find venison a rather dry meat so find that casseroling it works better than roasting, baking or frying.  The coconut oil gives an interesting extra layer of flavour but it works equally well with olive oil as the fat. The venison and wine need a good strong flavour to complement them so I served this with steamed beet leaves but steamed cavolo nero or kale would do as well. Since there is plenty of juice you might also want to serve it with a baked potato or some rice.
