Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces venison steaks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt.
Place the venison steaks in a large zip-lock bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.
Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate the steaks for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to infuse. For best results, marinate overnight.
While the steaks are marinating, prepare the herbed butter by combining softened unsalted butter, finely chopped fresh parsley, fresh rosemary, and lemon zest in a bowl.
Mix until well blended and then shape the butter into a log using plastic wrap. Refrigerate the herbed butter until firm.
Preheat your grill to high heat.
Remove the venison steaks from the marinade and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Grill the venison steaks over high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired doneness (approximately 130°F for medium-rare).
Once done, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the herbed butter and place a slice on each hot steak to melt over the top.
Serve the grilled venison steaks immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
