Melt 3 tablespoons butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion. Cook and stir until golden. Stir in broth, wine and sugar. Cook until reduced by half.
Place pepper on waxed paper and coat venison on both sides pressing the pepper into the meat.
Melt 3 tablespoons butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add steaks, cook to desired doneness, medium is preferred, turning once. Transfer steaks to heated platter, set to side and keep warm.
