Trim the venison steaks, removing all fat and gristle; pound them with a meat tenderizer until the steaks are thin but not tearing.

Combine the flour, bay leaf, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge the steaks in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions until soft and translucent. Stir in the mushrooms and garlic; cook until tender. Transfer to a plate; set aside.

Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in the same skillet; fry the steaks until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Return the mushroom mixture to the skillet; stir in the gravy and milk. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
