EMILY'S MARINATED VENISON STEAKS



Emily's Marinated Venison Steaks image

I threw this together one afternoon, as we needed to use up the venison we had in our freezer. We don't like the 'gamey' taste of some meats, and this marinade did the trick! I find it best to have the meat marinate overnight so it really takes in the flavors.

VENISON STEAK MARINADE



Venison Steak Marinade image

This is the only steak my family will eat. They do not even like NY strip any more. We have our meat processor cut our venison steaks to about 1 inch thick, then I marinate and grill to medium rare. Better than beef and better for you too! Our traditional family Christmas Eve dinner menu is always venison steak and shrimp scampi!

MARINATED VENISON STEAKS



Marinated Venison Steaks image

"Thanksgiving here is about hunting rather than football," said Errol Rice of the Montana Stockgrowers Association. The season for hunting big game comes to a close in the last, best place on the Thanksgiving weekend, and those who have not yet bagged a buck are known, said Dennis Konopatzke, the proprietor of Great Northern Brewing Company in Whitefish, to rush their holiday dinners in order to get out to the woods to hunt. You'll find huckleberries on Thanksgiving tables in Montana, Mr. Konopatzke added, or the Norwegian cured fish known as lutefisk, or pork pies and stuffed pasties, all nods to the state's history of settlers from afar. But game is the game. What follows is a recipe honed over the years by the members of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation for a marinade that works on wild venison perfectly and most other proteins as well. Broil some steaks and pair the result with traditional Thanksgiving side dishes.

MARINADE FOR VENISON BACKSTRAP



Marinade for Venison Backstrap image

I made my very first backstrap tonight, and it was magnificent! I searched all over for a nice marinade, and took a little from a whole bunch of different recipes to make this simple, flavorful marinade. We also painted it over some fresh veggies and grilled them along with the venison. This marinade will also work well with pork loin, chicken, or fish. After marinating, we wrapped the backstrap in bacon and grilled it. Yummmmm.

Tips:

  • Allow the venison to marinate for at least 6 hours, or up to 24 hours. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and tenderize it.
  • Use a non-reactive container for marinating, such as a glass or stainless steel bowl. Avoid using aluminum, as it can react with the venison and alter the flavor.
  • Discard the marinade after use. Do not reuse it, as it can contain harmful bacteria.
  • To prevent the venison from drying out during cooking, baste it with the marinade or a mixture of water and oil every few minutes.

Conclusion:

By following these tips, you can create a delicious and flavorful venison dish that is both tender and juicy. Experiment with different marinade recipes to find the ones that you enjoy the most. With a little practice, you'll be able to create mouthwatering venison dishes that will impress your family and friends.
