Venison Steak Recipe
This venison steak recipe is perfect for first-time cooks looking to prepare a delicious and juicy steak. Using a meat thermometer and a hot pan, this recipe will guide you through the process of cooking the perfect venison steak.
Equipment
- Meat thermometer
- Cutting board
- Paper towel
- Frying pan or cast iron skillet
- small bowl
Ingredients
- 2 venison steaks at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Remove the venison steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature.
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the mixture over both sides of the steaks.
- Heat a frying pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan.
- Once the oil is hot, place the steaks in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for a rare steak, or longer if you prefer your steak cooked more. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130°F for rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for well done.
- Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- Venison is a lean cut of meat, so be careful not to overcook it.
- If you prefer to grill your steak, simply follow the same instructions but use a grill instead of a pan.
- To add extra flavor, try marinating the steaks in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and your favorite herbs and spices for at least an hour before cooking.
- Serve your venison steak with your favorite side dishes and a good sauce.
For the best results, use a cast iron skillet and make sure that the skillet is hot before adding the steaks. - If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
