Elk Steak Marinade Recipes

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).

MARINATED VENISON STEAKS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except venison in a large bowl. Submerge venison in the marinade, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Heat broiler, stovetop grill pan or grill. Remove venison from marinade and season with salt and pepper. Working in batches if necessary, place steaks under the broiler or on the grilling surface and cook, flipping once, until medium-rare, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Allow venison to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

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.

• Allow the steaks to rest for a few minutes before serving.
