Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) venison steaks
• 0.33 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

• 3 cloves (minced) garlic
• 2 teaspoons (minced) fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon (freshly ground) black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 0 to taste kosher salt

Directions

Step 1

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, rosemary, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Whisk thoroughly to form a smooth marinade.

Step 3

3. Refrigerate the venison steaks and allow them to marinate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor penetration.

Step 4

4. Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature. Discard the excess marinade.

Step 5

5. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 6

6. Season the steaks lightly with kosher salt just before placing them on the grill.

Step 7

7. Grill the venison steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness, or longer depending on your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature—125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium.

Step 8

8. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 9

9. Serve immediately and enjoy your outrageously wonderful marinated venison steaks with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
