Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce.

Step 2

Add the brown sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. If desired, stir in the crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

Step 3

Place the venison or beef steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 5

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 12 hours for maximum flavor. Turn the steaks occasionally to ensure even marinating.

Step 6

When ready to cook, remove the steaks from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.

Step 7

Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel to encourage caramelization during cooking.

Step 8

Cook the steak to your preferred doneness using your desired method (grill, pan-sear, or broil). Allow the steaks to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
