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).

Steps:

• 1. Prep your steaks. No fat or silver skin. (I enclosed a photo of small steaks for visual) Use an electric skillet for ease of use. Turn on at 350 degrees. Add butter crisco. Just enough to cover bottom of pan.
• 2. Flour both sides of steaks and place in skillet. Add your seasonings of salt, pepper & garlic powder to taste and brown one side.
• 3. Turn over steaks and add chopped onion. Brown the other side. If you need more grease, add butter. Add tomatos, tomato sauce & worcestershire sauce. Stir and bring to a boil. Add more seasoning if needed. After it starts boiling, turn down skillet to simmer (200 degrees)and simmer for 2 hours. (More or less depending on the size steak. Cover. Add water as needed. Stir once in a while. Check to make sure that the meat is not sticking to bottom of pan. Test for tenderness. Meat should cut very easily.
• 4. Serve over noodles or potatoes. I like a spoonful of sourcream on my swiss steak.

• Add enough of the bacon drippings or vegetable oil to just cover the bottom of a 4 to 5-quart Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the steaks to the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a plate and repeat until all of the steaks have been browned.
• Remove the last steaks from the pot and add the onions, garlic, and celery. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine. Next add the tomatoes, paprika, oregano, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth and stir to combine. Return the meat to the pot, submerging it in the liquid.
