Venison & Blue Cheese Burgers

220 g venison steaks
2 tbsp rice bran oil
SIDS SALT & PEPPER
1 cup cranberry sauce
¼ cup SIDS BOYSENBERRY VINEGAR
2 tbsp brown sugar
3-4 juniper berries, crushed
1 star anise
4 burger buns or baps
50 g rocket leaves
150 g blue cheese
2-3 Agria potatoes
2 cups rice bran oil
salt and aioli

Brush the venison steaks with oil and season well with pepper.
Simmer the cranberry sauce, SIDS BOYSENBERRY VINEGAR, brown sugar, juniper berries and star anise for 8-10 minutes until saucy.
Sear the venison steaks on a hot grill or pan for 2-3 minutes each side until done to your liking. Rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting. Layer the toasted buns with rocket leaves and top with sliced venison and blue cheese, then spoon over the warm cranberry chutney.
For the potato sticks, slice the potatoes into thick slices lengthwise, then into thin strips across to create match sticks. Heat 5 cm of oil in a pan and cook in batches until crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with SIDS SALT & PEPPER while hot.
History: The earliest known report in a newspaper is from July 5, 1896, when the Chicago Daily Tribune made a highly specific claim regarding a "hamburger sandwich" in an article about a "Sandwich Car": "A distinguished favourite, only five cents, is Hamburger steak sandwich, the meat for which is kept ready in small patties and 'cooked while you wait' on the gasoline range." An article from ABC News sums up: "One problem is that there is little written history. Another issue is that the spread of the burger happened largely at the World's Fair, from tiny vendors that came and went in an instant. It is entirely possible that more than one person came up with the idea at the same time in different parts of the country."
Venison derives from the Latin venari (to hunt or pursue). This term entered English through the Norman in the 11th century, following the Norman invasion of England and the establishment of Royal Forests. Venison originally described meat of any game animal killed by hunting and was applied to any animal from the families 'Cervidae' (deer), 'Leporidae' (hares) and 'Suidae' (wild pigs) and certain species of the genus Capra (goats and ibex), but in the northern hemisphere the word's usage is now almost entirely restricted to the flesh of various species of deer.
