Step One - 10 Minutes

Prepare your venison. You are welcome to use steaks, backstrap, or tenders. If decide that you would like to use backstop or tenders, slice the meat into medallions first. Next, pat the meat dry to prevent spatter.

Tenderize the meat and then transfer it to a bowl where you can now add the cajun seasoning. Mix the seasoning with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and set it aside as you prepare the other ingredients.

Step Two - 5 Minutes

This step is very simple. Dice one large pepper of your choice, one tomato, and one green onion. If you would like to spice up the dish even more, then you are welcome to use a spicier pepper of your choice.

Once that is done, set it aside for later as you boil a large pot of  water with olive oil, garlic salt, and Italian seasoning.

Step Three - 15-20 Minutes

Heat a large skillet and brown the marinated venison strips over medium heat. When the meat becomes medium rare, stir in the diced peppers.

Meanwhile,  stir about 3 cups of your favorite pasta into the boil water that you started during step two.

Step Four - 5-7 Minutes

Focusing our attention back on the skillet, gradually stir in 1½ c half-n-half. Heavy whipping cream can also be used for this step. Also stir in 1 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp lemon pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp pepper.
