Marinated Venison Strips 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).

VENISON STEAK MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix all marinade ingredients together in a small measuring cup.
• Place venison steaks in a large zip lock bag.
• Pour marinade over steaks and seal bag.
• Place bag in a flat casserole dish so that the steaks are in a single layer.
• Refrigerate and marinate at least 4 hours, turning every half hour to marinate each side.
• Drain marinade and grill steaks to desired doneness.
• I double or triple this recipe for each addition package of steak. Any wild game steak can be used in this recipe.

VENISON GYROS

Steps:

• Whisk together the olive oil, cumin, garlic, marjoram, rosemary, oregano, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the venison strips, and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the venison strips, a half pound at a time, until the venison has browned on the outside and is no longer pink on the inside, about 8 minutes. Pile the meat onto warmed pitas to serve.

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.

MARINATED VENISON STRIPS

Steps:

• Cut the venison into 1/4-inch-thick strips about 1 1/2 inches wide, or into slightly thicker small steaks.
• Mix all remaining ingredients and marinate the venison strips in the mixture for several hours or even days (refrigerate).
• Grill the strips quickly over a very hot charcoal fire, basting as necessary; or pan broil a few at a time in a very hot, cast-iron skillet. Do not overcook: a minute or less on the first side and 10 to 20 seconds on the other. Serve with crusty bread and some of the marinade, heated and reduced, for dipping.

MARINATED VENISON LOIN STEAKS WITH ONIONS AND SWEET PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a small, heavy saucepan, combine all the marinade ingredients and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
• Lay each steak flat on the counter and tie each one horizontally so that the meat forms a tight, round package. You will need 6 pieces of kitchen twine, each measuring about 18 inches long.
• Spread half the marinade over the bottom of a nonreactive casserole or deep baking pan just large enough to hold all 6 steaks snugly but without crowding. Arrange the steaks in the pan and coat with the remaining marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to 5 hours.
• Remove the steaks from the marinade and place them on a double thickness of paper towels to dry.
• Light a fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill to medium.
• Set the peppers over the hottest part of the grill and cook until they begin to char. Turn with tongs and continue grilling until the peppers are charred on all sides. Stand by the grill during this time, the peppers cook quickly. Using tongs to turn them prevents them from splitting open. Transfer immediately to a container just large enough to hold them. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let the peppers cool to the touch. Rub the charred skin off the peppers. Remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers. Cut the peppers into strips.
• About 15 minutes before grilling, remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and brush with half the oil. Grill for 7 minutes on 1 side. Turn and grill for 7 minutes longer on the other side. Turn 1 more time and grill for about 2 minutes longer for rare steak. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes longer for medium-rare. Take care when turning the steaks to that the grill marks on the meat are perpendicular to the grate.
• Transfer the steaks to a warmer platter and remove the twine.
• Place a medium saute pan or skillet on the hottest part of the grill. Put the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and the sliced onions in the pan and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are lightly browned. Add the pepper strips and cook for about 2 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the steaks on warmed large plates with the grill marks showing. Carefully spoon the pepper and onions over half of each steak so that the grill marks are clearly visible.
• Put the cloves in a dry cast iron skillet and cook over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, or until softened. Turn frequently so that the cloves soften but do not brown. Slide the cloves from the skillet onto a plate to cool to the touch. Squeeze the softened garlic pulp from the individual cloves.

VENISON STEAK STRIPS

Steps:

• Cut steaks into 1/2 inch wide strips, trimming excess fat.
• Mix marinade ingredients in medium bowl.
• Add steak strips into marinade and let soak at least 1 hour.
• In a gallon ziploc bag combine flour, cajun seasoning, pepper and paprika.
• Put steak strips a handful at a time into the flour mixture, zip bag closed and shake until meat is fully coated.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat add enough oil to completely cover the bottom of the pan.
• Shake excess flour off steak strips and, in batches, fry them in the oil about 2 minutes, flip them over and fry 2 more minutes until golden brown, adding more oil as necessary.
• Place cooked strips onto paper towels to absorb oil.
