Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) venison steaks
- 0.33 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 teaspoons (minced) fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon (freshly ground) black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- to taste kosher salt
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, rosemary, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Whisk thoroughly to form a smooth marinade.
2. Place the venison steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
3. Refrigerate the venison steaks and allow them to marinate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor penetration.
4. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature. Discard the excess marinade.
5. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
6. Season the steaks lightly with kosher salt just before placing them on the grill.
7. Grill the venison steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, or longer depending on your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature—125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium.
8. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to retain their juices.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your outrageously wonderful marinated venison steaks with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
