Description

Ingredients
•
1 pound 1/2-inch-thick venison steaks
•
1 pinch garlic powder, or to taste
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
1/2 cup olive oil, or more to taste
•
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
•
1 small onion, sliced
•
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
•
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
•
1 sprig fresh rosemary
•
1 sprig fresh parsley, roughly chopped
•
4 leaves fresh basil, roughly chopped
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1
Place venison steaks in cold water for 20 minutes to remove extra blood, changing the water halfway through depending on how bloody the meat is.
2
While the steaks are soaking, combine 1/2 cup olive oil, balsamic vinegar, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon, rosemary, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper in a 1-gallon zip-top bag.
3
Remove steaks from the water and pat dry. Season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place in the zip-top bag, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
4
Preheat an outdoor grill on high heat for 10 minutes and lightly oil the grate.
5
Remove steaks from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
6
Cook steaks on the preheated grill for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 135 to 140 degrees F (57 to 60 degrees C).
7
Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice into strips, drizzle with olive oil, and serve.
