Ingredients
- 2 pieces Venison steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Pat the venison steaks dry with paper towels to ensure they sear properly.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the venison steaks.
Step 4
In another small bowl, combine the unsalted butter, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, and lemon zest. Mix well until the herbs are thoroughly incorporated into the butter.
Step 5
Place the venison steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare).
Step 6
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
Step 7
After the steaks have rested, top them with a dollop of the herbed butter while still warm. Allow the butter to melt over the steaks before serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your choice of heart-healthy side dishes, such as a mixed green salad or roasted vegetables.
