Grilled Venison Loin with Plum and Ginger Sauce

40 Minutes | easy | Serves 4

Venison loin is fantastic meat for the BBQ come autumn; it cooks quickly and should be left nice and pink in the middle. It’s important not to overcook the loin as it’s a lean cut, which means it can dry out. Plums vary wildly in sweetness so adjust the amount of sugar if you think it tastes too tart.

Ingredients

  • 450g venison loin
  • 350g plums, destoned and cut into wedges
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 star anise
  • 100ml water
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Oil, for cooking

Directions

1.

Saucepan

Place everything except the venison loin into a saucepan.
