VENISON STEAK



Venison Steak image

It's easy to cook a venison steak so that it's juicy, you just need to follow a few rules. A good marinade, a hot grill or pan and not overcooking is key.

Provided by Miss AK

Categories     Main Dish

Number Of Ingredients 4

about 1 and 1/2 lbs of venison steaks, at least 1 inch thick - here I'm using 4, 6oz. venison tenderloin medallions, you could also use medallions from the backstrap/loin (sometimes called chops)
1 batch All-Purpose Venison Marinade or acidic marinade of choice (you'll need about 1/2 cup marinade - see below*)
sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
optional - extra lemon for serving

Steps:

  • Remove the steaks from their packaging and put them on a plate or in a bowl lined with a paper towel. This absorbs old blood while defrosting and creates a more palatable taste.
  • If you're marinating your steaks, add your venison to a zip-top bag or a bowl with a lid. Again, this recipe works best with steaks that are at least 1 inch thick, but you can use this method for a flank steak or a thinner cut, just alter the cooking time.
  • Pour your marinade all over the steaks and make sure everything is coated. Marinate for at least 3 hours, but up to overnight for really tender/flavorful steaks. If you aren't fond of the natural taste of venison, opt for a longer marinade time, the acid will develop the flavor so that it's more pleasing to you.
  • When you're ready to cook, remove the steaks from the marinade and let them come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes before you cook (this is safe to do, it ensures even cooking).
  • Pat the steaks dry, wiping off the marinade, but DO NOT rinse them off. If you haven't used a marinade, pat them very dry and season them all over with salt and pepper.
  • If you used my marinade recipe, there's no need to add more oil for the grill. If you didn't mariante, a drizzle of olive oil is nice for grilling. I like to pierce my steaks with a fork all over to further tenderize them (see the photo in the post), but this is optional.
  • If you're using a grill to cook, preheat it to medium-high, about 450-500F. If you're cooking in a pan, preheat a well-seasoned cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until it's very very hot.
  • Place the steaks on the grill or in the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side (this will depend on steak thickness), but keep an eye on the internal temperature. You want to pull the steaks at 117-125F for a rare plus/medium-rare steak, it's very important not to overcook venison.
  • Once the steaks are cooked, remove them from the heat source at once and let them rest for at least 10 minutes before serving or slicing.
  • Season with a bit more salt (flakey salt if you have it) and pepper if desired and a light squeeze of lemon. Enjoy!

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.

Time 1h20m

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.

VENISON STEAK MARINADE

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!

Provided by Tara1183

Categories     Wild Game

Time 5m

Yield 2-3 steaks

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup water
1 tablespoon steak sauce (HP or A1)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons soya sauce
1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon vinegar (white or cider)
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 pinch dry mustard
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 -2 clove minces garlic
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 dash chili pepper (optional)
3 -5 fresh basil leaves, if i have them (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix all together and pour over your steaks.
  • Marinate covered in the fridge for minimum of 4 hours or overnight.
  • Broil or cook on the grill.
  • I use this all the time for venison steaks and chops and sometimes for beef but we dont eat that as often.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: For venison, choose a tender cut like loin or tenderloin. For beef, choose a well-marbled cut like ribeye or strip loin.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that is compatible with the type of meat you are using.
  • Marinate the meat for at least 4 hours, but no longer than 24 hours: Marinating the meat for too long can make it tough.
  • Cook the meat over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the meat and keep the juices in.
  • Let the meat rest before cutting it: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can easily create a delicious venison or beef steak marinade that will result in a tender, flavorful, and juicy steak. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to cook a delicious steak, be sure to try one of these marinades.
