Ingredients
- 1 pound of 1-inch-thick venison steaks
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 small or 1 large shallot, minced
- 20 juniper berries, crushed
- 2 tablespoons Juniper Berry Balsamic
- 4 tablespoons Director's Reserve EVOO
- 3 tablespoons dry, fruity red wine
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Kosher salt
- Freshly cracked pepper
- 2 teaspoons Director's Reserve EVOO
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together garlic, shallot, juniper berries, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, red wine, and rosemary. Remove all silver skin from venison and marinate for 5-8 hours in the refrigerator.
- During the last two hours, take venison out of the refrigerator to allow the meat to come to room temperature.
- Prepare grill or pan to medium-high heat. Remove meat from marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
- Sprinkle steaks liberally with salt and pepper to taste.
- If you're going to grill the steaks, brush oil all over steaks and onto grill grates. For grilling, cook steaks for 3-5 minutes on each side.
- If pan searing, cover bottom of the pan with 2 teaspoons of oil. Sear steaks in a hot pan for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
- Allow meat to rest for 5 minutes and then serve.
