Venison is a flavorful and versatile meat that can be cooked using a variety of methods. One of the most popular ways to prepare venison is to marinate it before cooking. Marinating the venison helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. There are many different marinade recipes that can be used for venison, so it is important to choose one that suits your taste. Some common ingredients used in venison marinades include olive oil, red wine, vinegar, garlic, onions, and herbs. The marinade should be allowed to penetrate the meat for at least several hours, or even overnight, before cooking. Once the venison has been marinated, it can be cooked using any method, such as grilling, roasting, or braising.

VENISON STEAK MARINADE
This is the only steak my family will eat. They do not even like NY strip any more. We have our meat processor cut our venison steaks to about 1 inch thick, then I marinate and grill to medium rare. Better than beef and better for you too! Our traditional family Christmas Eve dinner menu is always venison steak and shrimp scampi!

EMILY'S MARINATED VENISON STEAKS
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.

MARINATED VENISON STEAKS
"Thanksgiving here is about hunting rather than football," said Errol Rice of the Montana Stockgrowers Association. The season for hunting big game comes to a close in the last, best place on the Thanksgiving weekend, and those who have not yet bagged a buck are known, said Dennis Konopatzke, the proprietor of Great Northern Brewing Company in Whitefish, to rush their holiday dinners in order to get out to the woods to hunt. You'll find huckleberries on Thanksgiving tables in Montana, Mr. Konopatzke added, or the Norwegian cured fish known as lutefisk, or pork pies and stuffed pasties, all nods to the state's history of settlers from afar. But game is the game. What follows is a recipe honed over the years by the members of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation for a marinade that works on wild venison perfectly and most other proteins as well. Broil some steaks and pair the result with traditional Thanksgiving side dishes.

Tips for Marinating Venison:
- Choose the right marinade: Different marinades work well for different cuts of venison. For example, a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, and rosemary is a good choice for a lean cut of venison, such as a loin or tenderloin. A more flavorful marinade, such as one made with red wine, vinegar, and juniper berries, is a good choice for a tougher cut of venison, such as a shank or shoulder.
- Marinate for the right amount of time: The amount of time you marinate venison will depend on the thickness of the cut and the strength of the marinade. A thin cut of venison, such as a steak, can be marinated for as little as 30 minutes. A thicker cut of venison, such as a roast, should be marinated for at least 12 hours.
- Use a food-safe container: When marinating venison, it is important to use a food-safe container. This will help to prevent the marinade from contaminating the venison.
- Keep the marinade cold: Marinating venison in the refrigerator will help to keep it fresh and prevent it from spoiling.
- Discard the marinade after use: Once you have finished marinating the venison, it is important to discard the marinade. This will help to prevent the marinade from contaminating the cooked venison.
Conclusion:
Marinating venison is a great way to tenderize and flavor the meat. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and memorable venison dish.
