Deer Steak Recipe
This deer steak recipe is perfect for a hearty, winter meal. It's easy to make and can be adapted to any taste!
Equipment
- Medium-sized skillet
- Meat thermometer
- Measuring spoons
- Medium sized mixing bowl
Ingredients
The deer steak
- 4 pcs. venison steak 2 inches thick
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
The marinade
- 1 tbsp. garlic powder
- 1 tbsp. onion powder
- 1 ½ tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 ½ tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- In the medium-sized mixing bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Marinate the deer steak overnight for best results. If you find yourself short on time, you can marinate it for an hour. Make sure that every piece is sitting nicely in the marinade.
- Remove the deer steak from your refrigerator, and let it reach room temperature.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet.
- Transfer the deer steak to the skillet, and cook on medium-high heat, checking with your meat thermometer.
- Flip the pieces every once in a while to make sure both sides are evenly cooked.
- While cooking for approximately five minutes will result in a well-done deer steak, you can always cook for 3-4 minutes for a medium-done steak.

Notes
- Rest it — Once the deer steak is cooked and ready to be served, give it a few minutes to rest. Transfer the deer steak to a plate, and let it sit for five minutes or so.
- Avoid overcooking — The thing about venison, or deer steak more specifically, is that it is fairly lean, especially compared to other types of steak. As it is relatively low-fat, make sure to avoid overcooking.
- Keep an eye on the heat — Although you can always keep an eye on your clock while cooking, utilizing a meat thermometer is a better idea. If you like your deer steak rare, 120-130 degrees is enough. 130-140 degrees is good for medium lovers, and well-done lovers should stop at 140-150 degrees.
- Brush it — Try oiling the steak, not the skillet. Brush both sides with olive oil before you sear them in your pan.
