Preparation venison

Place the roe deer fillet, juniper, thyme, and rosemary in a vacuum bag and seal.

Cook sous-vide (in the vacuum bag) in a 54°C water bath for approximately 45 minutes.

Remove the venison from the vacuum bag, dry with a paper towel and season with salt. Fry in a hot pan until well sealed, then slice. For the sauce, reduce 0.5 litres of good red wine and stir in the meat juices.
