This is a really delicious way to prepare venison on the grill. Served with a touch of horseradish on the side…it’s a winner for sure.
Total Time
4 – 12 hours to prepare and apply the marinade
10 to 15 minutes to cut, cook and serve (See Pro Tip below)
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Springboro Tree Farms traditional maple syrup
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons horseradish
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic finely chopped (ok…we cheat and use minced from a jar…it works fine)
- Salt and pepper
- 4 venison backstrap steaks (or any other meat of your choice)
Directions
- In a glass dish, marinade container or plastic bag combine all the ingredients. Add the meat and coat with marinade, seal the container and refrigerate for 4 to 12 hours…turning / recoating the meat a few times along the way.
- Pre-heat the grill to HOT…then back the heat down a bit so you don’t burn the marinade.
- Re-apply salt and pepper to taste (we generally don’t need to do this for our taste)
- Grill the venison as desired
- Pro tip: venison is best medium rare (IMO). Not pictured here, but if you’re in a hurry, one way to accomplish this is to cut it thin (1/2 inch max) on the diagonal before you take it to the grill. With this approach you’re about a minute or so per side away from a really great dinner.
