    5. Repeat to make 3 more rosti.
    6. Place the baking sheet with the rosti in the oven and bake them for about 45–55 minutes, or until they are a lightgolden colour and feel tender when pierced with a knife.

    To cook the venison:

    1. Lightly grease the base of the frying pan with the oil, then place the pan over a high heat
    2. Cut each venison steak in half to give 4 pieces and season both sides of each piece with salt and pepper

    To serve:

    1. Place the rosti on a plate and top each with a piece of venison and a sprig of rosemary
    2. Transfer the sauce into a small jug to pour over, and serve immediately.
