Ingredients
- 454 g venison tenderloin, sliced into 3/4 to 1 inch slices
- 60 ml vegetable oil
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground rosemary
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) black pepper
- pinch of chili flakes
Instructions
- Allow the steaks to sit out for about half an hour to reach room temperature before grilling.
- Melt the butter in a skillet on low heat and add the minced garlic. Stir now and then, cooking until the garlic begins to brown and gets a toasted color.
- Take the skillet off the heat and mix in the brown sugar, rosemary, salt, pepper, and chili flakes until the sugar is fully melted.
- Use a fork with large prongs or the tip of a knife to tenderize the steaks.
- Drizzle the garlic butter mixture over the steaks.
- Get a grill ready with a fire reaching approximately 300°F and add hickory or oak for a smoky taste.
- Position the steaks with the buttered side facing up over indirect heat. Close the grill and cook for about 7 to 8 minutes without turning the steaks.
- Utilize a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, continuing to grill until the steaks hit 125°F.
- Take the steaks off the grill and let them sit for 10 minutes before you slice them.
- Cut the steak into thin slices for serving.
Notes
- Marinate venison tenderloin slices in garlic butter mixture for 30 minutes before grilling for a richer flavor.
- Consider using a smoker for cooking venison tenderloin to enhance the smoky taste.
- Adjust cooking time based on tenderloin slice thickness for desired level of doneness.
