Directions

1. Mix wine and mustard until well blended.

4. Remove venison from marinade; reserve marinade.
5. Sprinkle venison with salt and pepper.
6. Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook venison in oil about 4 minutes, turning once, until brown.
7. Add broth to skillet; reduce heat to low. Cover and cook about 10 minutes, turning venison once, until venison is tender and desired doneness. (Don't overcook or venison will become tough.)
