1
Season the venison steaks generously on all sides with your SPG blend, then heat a skillet over medium heat.
2
Add the venison steaks and sear until browned on both sides, adding 1 tablespoon of butter halfway through cooking. Cook to your preferred doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and allow them to rest while preparing the sauce.
3
In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the diced shallots and sauté for about 2 minutes.
4
Add the crawfish tails and minced garlic. Cook for another minute, stirring frequently.
5
Pour in the heavy cream and season with Cajun seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, liquid crab boil, dried parsley, salt, and pepper.
6
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
7
Slice the rested venison steaks. Serve a scoop of dirty Cajun rice on each plate, top with sliced venison, and generously spoon the crawfish cream sauce over the top. Serve hot and enjoy!

Super good. My wife did this but tweaked it. We did cream jalapeno cheese grits instead of rice.
