EMILY'S MARINATED VENISON STEAKS



Emily's Marinated Venison Steaks image

I threw this together one afternoon, as we needed to use up the venison we had in our freezer. We don't like the 'gamey' taste of some meats, and this marinade did the trick! I find it best to have the meat marinate overnight so it really takes in the flavors.

SMOTHERED ROUND STEAK (OR VENISON)-AN OLD AND RELIABLE RECIPE.



Smothered Round Steak (or Venison)-An Old and Reliable Recipe. image

Categories     Side     Steak     Venison     Simmer

Yield serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

One 2-pound round steak or venison backstrap (about 1/4-inch-thick)
Ground white pepper to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 medium white onions, sliced
1 to 1 1/2 cups water
1 beef bouillon cube

Steps:

  • Trim the meat and cut it into 1-by-3-inch slices. Sprinkle with white pepper. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the oil. In batches if necessary, brown the meat on all sides, about 3 minutes. Add the onions, enough of the water to cover the bottom of the pan by 1/4 inch, and the bouillon cube. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, 20 to 40 minutes, depending upon the cut of meat.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Elk round steak is a lean cut of meat, so it is important to cook it properly to avoid drying it out. Look for a steak that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling.
  • Tenderize the meat: Elk round steak can be tough, so it is a good idea to tenderize it before cooking. You can do this by pounding it with a meat mallet or marinating it in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs.
  • Cook the steak over medium heat: Elk round steak should be cooked over medium heat to avoid overcooking it. Cook the steak for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the steak rest: After cooking, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Elk round steak is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can ensure that your elk round steak turns out tender, juicy, and flavorful. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook elk, give elk round steak a try!
