LizH Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Does anyone have a great venison recipe? I am looking for a simple marinade for a venison steak that I plan to grill. I usually make something up with whatever I have in the house (soy sauce, oj, etc.). Thanks in advance. Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenunda Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I think venison is best with little marinade, as I really enjoy the flavor. I usually go just for garlic, salt, and pepper. I suppose it depends on what the deer has been eating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Gastreaux Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 A traditional ingredient in venison marinades is juniper berries. Also, I strongly recommend that you cook the steak no more than medium rare. Venison will get real tough real fast the longer you cook it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizH Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Since I noticed that some are still looking at this thread... here is what I ended up doing... Marinade: Extra Virgin Olive Oil Balsamic Vinegar Fresh ginger Lime juice and zest Grilled for a very short while, the meat was tender and flavorful. Even better... we had great leftovers. I think I like it as much when it is cold as hot off the grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmoomau Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Have some venison ham steaks marinading in balsamic and red wine with some salt and pepper. The ham steaks (backstraps) are normally what I kind of struggle with a bit. Not that they are hard to use I just have to think about it. Last time I just did salt, pepper and olive oil and had them with some nice mashed potatoes, but I only have two wee potatoes. Maybe I will make a good steak sandwich. Ground venison I use in just about anything in place of a lean ground beef. I normally mostly get these two things as my brother always keeps the tenderloins and some of the other good stuff.
