Description
Learn how to prepare a deliciously marinated and perfectly seared venison steak that impresses at any gathering.
Ingredients
- Venison steaks (1-2 lbs)
- Olive oil (2-3 tbsp)
- Fresh rosemary (1 tbsp, chopped)
- Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
- Sea salt (to taste)
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Trim any excess fat from the venison steaks.
- Combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create a marinade.
- Place the venison steaks in a resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, seal the bag, and press out the air.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steaks from the marinade and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Sear the steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness.
- Remove from heat and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For best results, use a meat thermometer to achieve an internal temperature of 130-135°F for medium-rare. Resting the steaks after cooking allows for better moisture retention.
