Grilled Venison Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium high.
• Place venison steaks on foil.
• Place pats of butter over steaks.
• Then cover steaks with sliced onions and mushrooms.
• Sprinkle spicy steak seasoning over all.
• Fold foil into packet and seal edges.
• Place on hot grill and grill for about 10 minutes. We usually flip the packet, but its not necessary.
• Carefully slice open foil - steam will be very hot. Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a medium saute pan, over medium heat, quickly saute the garlic in hot oil for 3 minutes. Add all of the remaining ingredients except venison steaks and balance seasonings. Brush this warm "dressing" over the venison steaks, covering both sides, and immediately place steaks on hot grill about 6 inches above glowing charcoal. Sear quickly on one side for 5 minutes, then flip steak over and grill 4 to 8 minutes on other side. Remove grilled steaks to a broad platter and cover to keep warm while you prepare their wild mushroom compliment.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium heat; when oil and butter are hot, saute the onions and garlic, stirring continually, for 3 to 5 minutes. Add bear's head tooth mushroom chunks and the cracked peppercorns; stir well for another 5 minutes. Now add the oyster mushroom pieces and remaining seasonings and blend well, simmering for another 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, if necessary, to develop a nice gravy (the amount of stock will depend on how "thirsty" the mushrooms are). Simmer just until the mushrooms seem tender.
• Serve the hot grilled steaks with the wild mushrooms spooned over and around them. Garnish with fresh watercress, parsley branches, and trimmed scallions.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients.
• Soak venison steaks at least 48 hours.
• Cook on the grill.

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, honey, vinegar, chili powder, black pepper, garlic, coriander, cumin and cayenne in a flat dish and mix well to form a paste. Coat the venison steaks uniformly with this seasoning mixture and allow to marinate overnight, refrigerated.
• Preheat an outdoor hardwood charcoal grill for about 20 to 30 minutes or until the coals have turned white.
• Cut the rolls in half, brush some olive oil on the inside of the rolls and toast the rolls briefly over the grill.
• Divide the lettuce evenly between the rolls, top with equal amounts of pickles and jalapeno peppers.
• Season the venison steaks with coarse salt and lay them out on the grill, trying not to overcrowd the grilling surface. Depending on the size of your grill you may need to do this in two batches. Cooking quickly over a hot fire, 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare steak sandwiches. The venison will also cook very quickly because of its naturally lean texture. Be careful of flare ups from the oil in the marinade.
• Finish the hoagie by placing a venison steak on each roll and top the venison off with some coffee barbecue sauce.
• Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Cool, then puree in a blender or food processor until smooth. You may leave this chunky or strain through a wire mesh for a smoother textured sauce. This can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks in a covered container. Yield: 1 1/2 cups

Steps:

• Cut venison into bite size bits.
• Cut bacon into 3-4 inch pieces. You may even want to cut the bacon strips in half, length-wise first, depending on the width of the bacon.
• Wrap each chunk of meat with a piece of bacon, using a tooth pick to hold in place.
• Place wrapped venison in a plastic bag and cover with dressing. Marinate over night.
• Place marinated deer balls on plate and sprinkle with seasoning.
• Grill until bacon is crisp, turning often. I found the easiest way is to use a fish basket, that way you can turn them all over at once. Another way is to use a skewer. No mater what method you use, watch for flare ups, since the oil in the Italian dressing will cause quite a blaze if you don't keep an eye on it. I walked away one time to get a beer and when I came back my balls were burnt to a crisp.

Steps:

• In bowl, mix dry ingredients.
• Add venison and mix well.
• Add liquid ingredients and mix well with a fork, until bread crumbs are barely noticeable.
• On plastic wrap, form into 8 (4 ounce) patties, making them round and very flat-- like a fast-food burger.
• They can be cooked immediately, but I prefer to freeze them first.
• Place them on a large cookie sheet and freeze them several hours.
• Remove from freezer and place waxed paper between each burger as you stack them.
• I stack them in 2 1-quart freezer zip-lock bags.
• Preheat cast iron skillet to very hot.
• Cook frozen burgers until they are slightly charred on one side (about 3-4 minutes) and then turn and cook until the other side is slightly charred and burgers are medium-well.
• Do not overcook.
• Turn burner off and leave burgers in the pan while you put condiments on your hamburger bun.
• If cooking thawed burgers, cook about 2-3 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high or heat a grill pan over high heat.
• Brush both sides of the chops with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Put on the grill and grill until golden brown and slightly charred, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, flip the chops, and continue cooking until cooked to medium-rare, about 8 minutes longer. Transfer to a platter, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• While the venison is resting, melt the butter in a medium sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced sage leaves and cook, occasionally stirring and turning the leaves, until the edges curl and the butter is dark amber but not black or burned, about 5 minutes. Add the blackberries to the butter and cook for 20 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon some of the butter onto 4 large plates, top with the veal chops, and spoon some of the blackberries and butter over each chop. Garnish with fresh sage leaves.

Steps:

• Brush each venison slice with a small amount of lemon juice.
• Sprinkle each slice with meat tenderizer and garlic powder to taste.
• Lay each venison slice on a piece of bacon.
• Make sure one end of the venison slice matches with one end of the bacon.
• With the bacon on the outside, roll up the venison and bacon.
• Secure the roll with a toothpick.
• Grill over medium coals for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, or until venison is done.
