Smothered Venison Steak Food

SMOTHERED ROUND STEAK (OR VENISON)-AN OLD AND RELIABLE RECIPE.

Steps:

• Trim the meat and cut it into 1-by-3-inch slices. Sprinkle with white pepper. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the oil. In batches if necessary, brown the meat on all sides, about 3 minutes. Add the onions, enough of the water to cover the bottom of the pan by 1/4 inch, and the bouillon cube. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, 20 to 40 minutes, depending upon the cut of meat.

GRILLED VENISON STEAKS

Steps:

• Place venison steaks in cold water for 20 minutes to remove extra blood, changing the water halfway through depending on how bloody the meat is.
• While the steaks are soaking, combine 1/2 cup olive oil, balsamic vinegar, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon, rosemary, parsley, basil, salt, and pepper in a 1-gallon zip-top bag.
• Remove steaks from the water and pat dry. Season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place in the zip-top bag, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill on high heat for 10 minutes and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove steaks from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook steaks on the preheated grill for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 135 to 140 degrees F (57 to 60 degrees C).
• Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice into strips, drizzle with olive oil, and serve.

PEPPERED VENISON STEAK WITH SPICED SMOTHERED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy-based (preferably non-stick) pan and, stirring, gently sauté the onions and garlic until they have browned and acquired a nutty flavour.
• Add the tomato ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar or wine; stir well and add the sambel oelek, brown sugar, mustard, parsley and a good pinch of salt; stir again and gently cook for 5-10 minutes, adding a little stock if needed.
• Generously season the venison steaks with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, brush the steaks with oil and briefly cook on a very hot, preheated ridged grill (or BBQ) to medium-rare at the most.
• To serve, place a steak on each plate and spoon a good dollop of the smothered onions alongside as a relish.
• NOTE: Any steaks can be used in place of venison.
