Marinating venison enhances the flavor, moisturizes and helps tenderize the meat. Here are a few basic marinades for use with grilling (steaks or kabobs), stir-frying, broiling and baking. Commercial marinades are also available at your supermarket. If steaks or other cuts of venison may be tough, tenderize with a mallet before placing in marinade.
1 clove garlic, minced
Mix together. Pour over meat in plastic bag and knead mixture together. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours.
1 clove garlic
Mix together. Pour over meat in plastic bag and knead mixture together. Marinate in refrigerator for 10 hours or overnight. Vegetables can be marinated in mixture for kabobs or stir-fry, if desired.
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Mix together. Pour over meat in plastic bag and knead mixture together. Marinate in refrigerator for 6-10 hours. Marinade is good with vegetables for grilling or stir-fry.
1 tablespoon lime juice
Works best with thinly sliced venison. Mix together. Pour over meat in plastic bag and knead together. Refrigerate 1-6 hours. Use as a stir-fry for fajitas or your favorite southwestern recipe.
