Venison Steak with Cranberry Gnocchi

Clean the peppers and onions. Cut the onions finely, the peppers and the smoked bacon into strips. Season steaks with salt, pepper and Worcester sauce. Heat oil in a frying pan and toast the steaks on both sides. They should still be pink at the core. Remove steaks from skillet and keep warm. Sauté bacon, onions, peppers and mushrooms in the drippings, season with peppercorns, juice of one lemon, salt and Worcester sauce, deglaze with brandy. Mix all ingredients for the dumplings in a baking bowl until smooth. Dip a tablespoon in flour and cut out 12 portions. Flatten the dumplings a little bit on a floured board, cover with cranberries and fold into dumplings. Place in boiling salted water and cook for about 8 minutes.

Lift the cooked dumplings out of the water. Fry light butter and breadcrumbs in a frying pan and roll the dumplings in it. Cover the venison steaks with the venison sauce, place a piece of herb butter on top, arrange on plates with the cranberry dumplings. Garnish with poached apples or possibly pears filled with cranberries.

Our tip: Use a deliciously spicy bacon for a delicious touch!
