Grilled Venison Steak 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).

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!

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.

DEER STEAK MARINADE & HOW TO GRILL DEER MEAT

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, Worcheshire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, hot sauce, and salt and pepper.
• Place steaks in gallon size ziptop bag and pour marinade over steaks, pushing out air, and sealing the bag.
• Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour, preferably overnight, moving the bag around often to make sure all steaks sit in marinade at some point.
• When ready to cook, remove steaks from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature, or as close as possible. (Do not microwave.)
• Preheat grill to high heat and place steaks over the hot part of the grill, and grill on each side for 3-4 minutes.
• Pull steaks off of the grill, coat with melted butter and let rest for 3-4 minutes.
• Steaks will be a "medium" steak at this cook time. If you prefer steaks that are well done, cook on the grill an additional minute until steak reaches desired "doneness".
