Make 10 slits in the loin. Stuff each slit with a garlic clove. Rub the entire loin with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a large saute pan, over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the venison and sear for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and let rest for a couple of minutes before slicing. In a saute pan, over medium heat, add the oil. When the pan is hot, add the shallots, garlic and berries. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 2 minutes. Add the reduction and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes. Using a hand-held blender or blender, puree until smooth. Strain the sauce, discarding the seeds.
