Here's the recipe for Stacy Lyn's Bacon Wrapped Venison Steaks:

Applewood Bacon Wrapped Venison Steaks with Brown Butter Herb Sauce 

Serves 6 

2-pound venison loin, cut into 6 steaks 2-inches thick 

1/2-pound Applewood Bacon 

Kosher salt, plus more to taste 

freshly ground pepper 

2 tablespoons olive oil 

2 tablespoons butter 

Brown Butter Herb Sauce 

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes 

2 cloves garlic, minced 

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 

2 teaspoons chopped basil 

2 teaspoons chopped parsley 

2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves 

2 teaspoons fresh oregano leaves 

Juice and zest of one lemon 

2 ounces shaved Parmigiano Reggiano 

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste 

Preheat the oven to 325°F. 

Liberally salt and pepper all sides of the steak. Wrap the steak with applewood bacon and secure with a toothpick.  

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and butter, and 2 steaks to the skillet. Allow each steak to cook on one side for about 3 minutes over medium-high heat, then flip the steak and cook for another 4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches around 120°F.  Remove to a cutting board and tent the steaks with foil and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining steaks. Ladle Brown Butter Herb Sauce over each steak, then top with shaved Parmigiano Reggiano.  

For the Brown Butter Herb Sauce 

In a cast iron skillet, melt butter over medium heat, whisking constantly. Continue to cook and whisk for about 3 minutes, or until you see brown bits on the bottom of the pan and the butter turning a light brown color. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the herbs, lemon juice, and zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

As she celebrates her 30th year in country music, Lisa Brokop is grateful to still be doing what she loves. It’s that winning combination of gratitude, youthful exuberance and seasoned wisdom that inform Brokop’s new album "Who’s Gonna Fill Their Heels?" The mesmerizing lead single, “Come Back Bobbie Gentry,” written by Brokop and her singer/songwriter husband, Paul Jefferson, sets the tone for Brokop’s new collection. Buoyed by the Canadian songbird’s rich, smoky vocals and insightful writing, the song heralds the return of the award-winning artist. Though it has been nearly a decade since Brokop released an album, she hasn’t been resting her laurels. Brokop, who has won three consecutive Independent Female Artist of the Year Awards from the Canadian Country Music Association, has been busy on the road celebrating the talented women who built the country genre with The Legendary Ladies of Country Music show and also paying homage to one of her beloved heroes with The Patsy Cline Project.  Her new album is both a celebration of the traditional music that shaped her as an artist and cutting-edge originals that embody her new creative direction.
