Venison Steak Marinade

JustJan's Note:

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!

• Total Time: 4 hrs 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 3 tablespoons canola oil

Directions:

1. Mix all marinade ingredients together in a small measuring cup.
2. Place venison steaks in a large zip lock bag.
3. Pour marinade over steaks and seal bag.
4. Place bag in a flat casserole dish so that the steaks are in a single layer.
5. Refrigerate and marinate at least 4 hours, turning every half hour to marinate each side.

Great marinade! Added a little white wine vinegar for an extra acid to tenderize meat some more. Will use again!

Best marinade I have found for venison so far. I soaked my steaks in FF milk overnight while they were defrosting in the fridge. Then marinated according to directions but for a full day before cooking. The deer steaks were so good that I cooked my last batch the same way. THanks for the recipe. It's going in my recipe tin! Oh yeah, I omitted the canola oil-- used just a Tablespoon of olive oil instead.

this is extremely tender and could not tell it was venison. It does need alittle more flavor, maybe marinate longer but it was very tender which was impressive.
