Season the venison loin with salt and black pepper. Crush the juniper berries and rub them onto the meat.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the venison loin for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté chopped shallots and minced garlic until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet with red wine, scraping up any browned bits. Add the beef stock and thyme, and simmer to reduce by half.
Stir in the heavy cream and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Return the venison loin to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Slice the venison loin and serve with the juniper sauce, accompanied by roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
