Grilled Venison Steaks 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.

EMILY'S MARINATED VENISON STEAKS

Steps:

• Whisk Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, onion, red pepper flakes, dry mustard, salt, thyme, black pepper, garlic, and hot pepper sauce together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add venison steaks, coat with the marinade, squeeze to remove excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove venison from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
• Cook the steaks until they are firm, hot in the center, and just turning from pink to grey, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 150 degrees F (65 degrees C).

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.
• Remove steaks from the water and pat dry. Season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place in the zip-top bag, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
• 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.
