Add the wine and simmer 10 minutes
Add the sugar and pepper to taste
Add the potato starch and simmer 10 minutes.

Obviously make your own broth but Store beef broth does work with the addition of say 1 tsp of vegemite.
Venison is really quite easy to cook with the obvious and always
stated caveat on most game meats. "It becomes dry and tough if
overcooked." Getting good venison is the key. Fresh from a country
market is better than frozen. When I was a boy I did a lot of
shooting in the Canberra region. In the hills around Lake George is
where wild deer first flourished so good farm shot deer meat was
something I got to experience at a young age.
The standard red wine au jus is ideal. I have never been much of a fan of the red wine au jus. So my version is a little different and really a gravy rather than a Au jus. Much better. Green pickles is also vey good.
Rare to medium rare is the target. Under the griller set on high is the easiest way to to this. 1" steaks will be cooked in 6 minutes under the grill every time. The griller is your friend with game meats. Using a fry pan or griddle pan at high heat to get a sear and then finishing in the oven does create a better looking result but it easily goes wrong. Pan frying all the way is for real thrill seekers.
