Mama's Venison and Sweet Onions

A friend blessed us with some venison and I threw this together. Nothing too exciting but it was delicious. Just don't overcook it or it will get tough.

1 lb venison steaks
1 large sweet onion, cut in half and sliced
salt and pepper to taste (I use Redmond Real Salt)
dry sherry
butter or bacon grease

1. In a cast iron skillet, melt butter or heat bacon grease (about 2 tbsp)
2. Cook onions until soft and golden (you can add a dash of dry sherry to the cooking onions. It adds a nice flavor)
3. Push onions to side and melt another 1-2 tbsp fat
4. Season steaks with salt and pepper, add to hot pan and fry for 30 sec each side.
5. Add a dash of dry sherry to slightly braise meat
6. Continue flipping steaks until desired doneness.
Serve smothered in onions with garlic smashed potatoes and spinach.
7. Thank God for yummy forest creatures and enjoy!
