Dad's Venison Backstraps

This recipe is by far my favorite venison recipe! If you don't have venison, you could use beef instead. We love to have it with onion potatoes and a vegetable. Hope you enjoy it! Here is the recipe...

Ingredients:
- 2 lbs. Venison Backstrap Meat (cubed)
- 2 cups Brandy
- 1/3 cup Butter
- 1 Pint Heavy Whipping Cream
- Salt and Pepper (To Taste)

Directions:
- Brown meat with butter in an electric skillet 
- Once meat is browned (not fully cooked through) - remove and set aside
- Add brandy to butter and meat drippings
- Heat and light brandy mixture - to burn alcohol off: SAFETY TIP - make sure you have plenty of height space for the flame to go - probably at least 2 feet. - sometimes we have done this step outside.
- Once your flame has died down, add heavy whipping cream.
- Bring to a boil and then return the meat to the pan.
- Add Salt and Pepper to taste
- Continue to cook (simmer) until meat has cooked through (about 20-30 minutes, check as it is cooking, you don't want the meat to get tough)
- Sauce will thicken as is simmers.
- ENJOY! :)
