Venison Tournedo

Looking for an opportunity to show off? Here's how! For optimal flavour and tenderness, serve the tournedo or medallions medium-rare to medium and rest for several minutes. You will achieve silky smooth truffle mash by using a mouli, or you can use a stick blender if you don’t have one of these handy.
