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.

MARINATED VENISON STEAKS

Marinated Venison Steaks image

"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:

Choose high-quality venison chops: Look for chops that are a deep red color with a fine-grained texture. Avoid chops that are pale or have a coarse texture.
Trim the venison chops: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the chops. This will help the marinade penetrate the meat more easily.
Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give your venison chops the most flavor. Choose a marinade that contains a variety of herbs, spices, and liquids. Some popular choices include olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
Marinating process: Place the venison chops in a sealable container and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chops are completely covered by the marinade. Refrigerate the chops for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Grilling tips: When grilling venison chops, cook them over medium heat. This will help prevent the chops from overcooking and becoming dry. Cook the chops for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Marinated venison chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your venison chops are cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor.
