Tataki refers to the Japanese method of seared beef filet or sometimes tuna, but in this case deer. The loins are lightly seared on high heat for less than a minute on each side and marinated then very thinly sliced like sashimi. The gamey deer flavor pairs wonderfully with the citrus soy glaze traditionally served with tataki.

Preparation

Season the meat with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet on high heat for 3-4’, add a little oil and sear the loin for 30-45” per side
Mix soy sauce, sake and add the garlic, brush on the deer and leave at room temperature for 10’.
Slice as thin as you can and arrange on a plate. Garnish with sliced green onions and pickled chilies.
Serve with ponzu seasoned soy on top or in a small ramekin for dipping.
