Grilled Venison Packets Recipes

GRILLED VENISON STEAKS

Steps:

• Coat the venison backstrap in oil and salt well. Set aside for 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature.
• Get your grill hot, clean the grates and lay the venison on the grill. Keep the grill cover open. Let this cook 5 to 7 minutes without moving, depending on how hot your grill is and how thick your venison loin is. You want a good sear, with good grill marks, on that side of the meat. Flip and repeat on the other side.
• Do the finger test to check for doneness. If the venison needs some more time, turn it to sides that have not had direct exposure to the grill and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, checking all the way. If you are using a barbecue sauce, paint the meat with it and let it caramelize on the meat for a minute or three.
• When the meat has been cooked to your liking, take it off the fire and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. If you are using a spice rub now is the time to roll the meat in it.

GRILLED VENISON STEAKS

Steps:

• Salt and Pepper Preparation
• Season the steaks liberally on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Cajun Rub Preparation
• Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Rub the steaks liberally with the Cajun Dry Rub. You can let them sit in the fridge up to an hour like this or cook them right away.
• Marinade Preparation
• Place the steaks in a baking dish or a resealable bag. Add the marinade. Marinate in the re­frigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 12 hours. Remove the steaks from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Season the steaks lightly with salt and pepper.
• To Grill
• With a basting brush, brush both sides of the steaks lightly with the vegetable oil and then place the steaks on the grill.
• As with all grilling, let the grill do the work. Don't move the steaks at all until they release easily from the grill, about 4 minutes. Flip the steaks and grill on the second side for 3-4 minutes.
• Use an instant-read thermometer to tell you when they're done: insert the thermometer horizontally into the steaks from the shorter side.
• Remove the steaks from the grill at 125° for medium rare and 130° for medium.
• Set aside to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

GRILLED VENISON BACKSTRAP

Steps:

• Place chunks of venison into a shallow baking dish, and pour enough apple cider in to cover them. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours. Remove, and pat dry. Discard apple cider, and return venison to the dish. Pour barbeque sauce over the chunks, cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 more hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Charcoal is best, but if you must, use gas. Remove meat from the refrigerator, and let stand for 30 minutes, or until no longer chilled. Wrap each chunk of venison in a slice of bacon, and secure with toothpicks.
• Brush the grill grate with olive oil when hot, and place venison pieces on the grill so they are not touching. The bacon will kick up some flames, so be ready. Grill, turning occasionally, until the bacon becomes slightly burnt, 15 to 20 minutes. The slower, the better. Dig in, and prepare to want more!

One hour before grilling, toss vegetables with 1/4 cup reserved marinade., Drain and discard marinade from meat., Thread meat and vegetables alternately on skewers. Grill over medium-hot heat for 15-20 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the venison reads 160°, turning and basting frequently with reserved 3/4 cup marinade.

GRILLED VENISON STEAKS

Steps:

• Place venison steaks in cold water for 20 minutes to remove extra blood, changing the water halfway through depending on how bloody the meat is.
• While the steaks are soaking, combine 1/2 cup olive oil, balsamic vinegar, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon, rosemary, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper in a 1-gallon zip-top bag.

• Preheat an outdoor grill on high heat for 10 minutes and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove steaks from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook steaks on the preheated grill for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 135 to 140 degrees F (57 to 60 degrees C).
• Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice into strips, drizzle with olive oil, and serve.
