HOW TO MAKE IT

  1. Light your fire and let it burn down for about an hour until you obtain a medium heat.

  2. Place a grill grate over the fire about 30 cm (12 in) above the coals.

  3. Place the venison on a sturdy surface, such as a tree log or a chopping board, and use a meat mallet or similar to pound and flatten the steaks until they’re about 2 mm (1/8 in) thick.

  4. Spread the breadcrumbs on a tray or other flat surface. Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl, adding the garlic, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and a good grinding of pepper. Submerge the venison in the egg mixture, thoroughly drenching both sides, then transfer to the breadcrumbs and press to coat on both sides.

  5. Place a large cast-iron frying pan on the grill grate. Add a generous dollop of ghee and let it melt, then fry the schnitzels for 4 minutes each side. Remove and drain on paper towel to ensure your schnitzels stay crisp.

  6. Spread mayonnaise on the insides of your buns and toast, mayo-side down, in the pan until golden brown.

  7. Layer the venison schnitzels, tomato and lettuce on the buns, season with salt and finish with your choice of condiments.
