Grilled Venison Bites Deer Balls Cajun Recipes

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 BITES (DEER BALLS) (CAJUN)

Steps:

• Cut venison into bite size bits.
• Cut bacon into 3-4 inch pieces. You may even want to cut the bacon strips in half, length-wise first, depending on the width of the bacon.
• Wrap each chunk of meat with a piece of bacon, using a tooth pick to hold in place.
• Place wrapped venison in a plastic bag and cover with dressing. Marinate over night.
• Place marinated deer balls on plate and sprinkle with seasoning.
• Grill until bacon is crisp, turning often. I found the easiest way is to use a fish basket, that way you can turn them all over at once. Another way is to use a skewer. No mater what method you use, watch for flare ups, since the oil in the Italian dressing will cause quite a blaze if you don't keep an eye on it. I walked away one time to get a beer and when I came back my balls were burnt to a crisp.
