Elegant marinade for venison steak
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup vinegar
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ cup water
Thoroughly blend all ingredients. Cover venison steaks with marinade for at least 4 hours (overnight preferred) prior to cooking. Turn steaks periodically, or add more marinade, to saturate. Broil or grill steaks to your preference. (Once again, apple-grilled steaks are terrific!) I used this for deer chops the first time. The aroma, while grilling, was fantastic and the taste even better. I recently used the marinade to do a whole pork loin on a spit over an open fire.
1 ½ lbs. deer chops
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup sherry wine or red wine
1 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup molasses
1. Mix the soy sauce, vegetable oil, sherry, ginger, and garlic powder.
2. Pour mixture over chops and let marinate overnight.
3. Remove chops from marinate and add the molasses to the marinade.
4. Cook the chops on the grill over a low fire basting the chops with the marinade molasses mixture.
5. Be careful not to over cook.
