Method
 

Preparation of Venison
  1. Pat the venison rump steak dry with paper towels.
  2. Rub the steak with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Let the steak rest at room temperature while lighting the coals.
Cooking the Steak
  1. Set up a two-zone fire on the grill with hot and cooler areas.
  2. Sear the steak over the hot zone until nicely browned.
  3. Move the steak to the cooler zone to finish cooking until the internal temperature reaches 130 to 135 °F for medium rare.
  4. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 to 8 minutes before slicing.
Preparation of Coffee Manga
  1. In a mug, stir the hot coffee with brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until dissolved.
  2. If using, add vanilla extract.
  3. Froth the warm milk and then pour it into the coffee mixture.
  4. Sip while the steak is grilling.
Serving
  1. Slice the rested steak against the grain and serve with the coffee manga.
  2. Optionally, garnish the steak with grilled spring onions for added flavor.

Notes

For a grilled side, try spring onions sautéed with olive oil and a splash of lemon juice. For a chilled version of the coffee, pour the coffee mixture over ice.
