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!

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.

HEALTHY BEEF/VENISON MARINADE



Healthy Beef/Venison Marinade image

This is an excellent marinade for tougher cuts of beef or to eliminate the gamey taste of wild meats like venison.

Provided by Healthy Eats

Categories     Steak

Time 15m

Yield 2 lbs of meat, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
3 garlic cloves (FRESH)
2 tablespoons gingerroot (FRESH)

Steps:

  • Remove skin from three (medium to large) FRESH cloves of garlic. Either cut very finely or grate into a mixing bowl.
  • Remove skin from about a 2 inch piece of FRESH ginger root. Use a fine shredder or grate into a mixing bowl.
  • Add all liquid ingredients and mix with a whisk until evenly distributed.
  • We found that the recipie works best when all ingredients are put in a 1 gallon zip lock freezer bag after mixing. Then, up to 2 pounds of meat can be added to the bag. Then the air should be squeezed out of the bag and it should be tightly sealed and immediately refrigerated. Every few hours, the bag can be lightly squeezed or inverted to ensure good mixing of the marinade with the meat.
  • If the cut of meat is tender, allow meat to marinate for 2 to 4 hours.
  • Most non-premium cuts of beef require 4-8 hours.
  • Wild meats likely to have a more gamey taste should marinate for a full day.

Tips:

  • Choose the right venison cut: For marinating, select tender cuts like backstrap, tenderloin, or loin. These cuts absorb flavors well and remain succulent after cooking.
  • Slice against the grain: Before marinating, slice venison against the grain to enhance tenderness. This allows the marinade to penetrate more easily and results in a more enjoyable eating experience.
  • Use an acidic base: Acidic ingredients like vinegar, lemon juice, or yogurt help break down venison's connective tissues and tenderize it. These acidic components also infuse the meat with delightful tangy flavors.
  • Add flavorful ingredients: Experiment with various herbs, spices, and seasonings to create a marinade that complements venison's distinct taste. Common choices include garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Marinate for an optimal time: The marinating duration depends on the cut and thickness of the venison. Generally, thinner cuts require shorter marinating times (30 minutes to 2 hours), while thicker cuts may need longer (up to overnight).
  • Discard the marinade: Always discard the marinade after use. Reusing it may introduce bacteria that could contaminate the cooked venison.

Conclusion:

Venison is a delectable and versatile meat that can be elevated with the right marinade. By following these tips and exploring various marinade recipes, you can create tender, flavorful venison dishes that will impress your taste buds and make your culinary adventures truly memorable. Remember to marinate venison safely, allowing ample time for the flavors to permeate the meat. Experiment with different marinades to discover new favorites and enjoy the delicious rewards of cooking with this exceptional wild game.
