Ingredients
- 4 pieces venison steaks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt.
Step 2
Place the venison steaks in a large zip-lock bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them.
Step 3
Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate the steaks for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to infuse. For best results, marinate overnight.
Step 4
While the steaks are marinating, prepare the herbed butter by combining softened unsalted butter, finely chopped fresh parsley, fresh rosemary, and lemon zest in a bowl.
Step 5
Mix until well blended and then shape the butter into a log using plastic wrap. Refrigerate the herbed butter until firm.
Step 6
Preheat your grill to high heat.
Step 7
Remove the venison steaks from the marinade and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Step 8
Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Step 9
Grill the venison steaks over high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired doneness (approximately 130°F for medium-rare).
Step 10
Once done, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 11
Slice the herbed butter and place a slice on each hot steak to melt over the top.
Step 12
Serve the grilled venison steaks immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
