Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound venison (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, black pepper, paprika, and salt. Whisk together to form a marinade.
Add the venison cubes to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat each piece. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more intense flavor).
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt, coating the bottom of the pan.
Remove the venison cubes from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure proper searing. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the venison cubes in the hot skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2 minutes on each side or until browned and cooked to medium-rare (internal temperature of about 130°F).
Remove the venison bites from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Allow them to rest for 2–3 minutes.
Garnish the venison bites with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Pair with a dipping sauce of your choice or enjoy them as is.
