Cooking Steps
Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil. Peel potato and parsnip, then cut into bite-sized chunks. Cook potato and parsnip in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan, then add the milk, salt and 1/2 the butter. Mash until smooth, then cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, halve baby broccoli lengthways. Roughly chop silverbeet. Thinly slice mushrooms. Finely chop garlic. Pick and roughly chop herbs. Roughly chop roasted hazelnuts and slivered almonds.
In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, cook herbs, hazelnuts and almonds, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt, then set aside.
Return the frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Season the venison steak with salt and pepper. When oil is hot, cook venison for 3-5 minutes on each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate to rest, leaving the residual juices in the pan. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the steak and place the remaining butter on top. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: The heat will melt the butter and glaze to make a sauce.
While the steak is resting, return the frying pan to medium-high heat with residual steak juices and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook mushrooms and baby broccoli until starting to soften, 5-6 minutes. Add silverbeet and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, 2 minutes. Season to taste.
Slice venison steak. Divide parsnip mash and veggies between plates. Top with venison. Spoon over balsamic butter and any resting juices. Sprinkle over herbed nuts to serve.
