Blazin' Venison Steaks
"Good venison recipes are always welcomed by hunters and their spouses. Here's a dandy from Marlboro for something a little different. Cooking time includes marinating time. Also, this recipe works just fine in the deer-hunting camp, cooking the steaks/mushrooms over a campfire rack. Enjoy!"
- Ready In:
- 9hrs 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 4 venison steak
- 4 large portabella mushroom caps
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 jalapeno peppers, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 cup dry red wine
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
directions
- Place steaks in a casserole dish and arrange the mushrooms on top of each. Set aside.
- In a skillet, over medium heat, add the oil and sautee the jalapenos until slightly tender (about 4 minutes). Then, add the worcestershire sauce, garlic and salt -- heat until it sizzles a bit (1-2 minutes). Remove from the heat and add the wine, mustard and cinnamon -- whisk until blended.
- Pour the skillet contents over the steaks, cover with cling wrap and allow to marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
- After marinating overnight, remove them from the dish and grill the steaks and portabellos over hot charcoal. Baste with the marinade, grilling the steaks for about 6 minutes to a side and allowing the portabellos slightly longer. Do not baste for the final 3 minutes and discard any extra marinade.
- Serve with some buttery garlic noodles as a side dish (I use variations of this recipe: Recipe #156105).
- NOTE: The orginal recipe called for HABENERO peppers instead of jalapenos -- that was just WAY too hot for me, but if you are so inclined, go for it!

Good but I omitted the jalapenos altogether and that was a mistake. I think it would have tasted less gamey if I had included them. I'm not usually a meat fan at all but this is a good recipe. I would opt to marinate the steaks overnight next time. Thanks for posting!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I am a retired State Park Resort Manager/Ranger. <br /><br />Anyway, as to my years in the State Park System (retired now), I was responsible for 4 restaurants/dining rooms on my park and my boss at Central Headquarters said I should spend less time in my kitchens and more time tending to my park budget. I spent 25 years in those kitchens and worked with some really great chefs over those years, (and some really awful ones too!) <br /><br />I spent THOUSANDS of hours on every inch of that park and adjacent state forest (60,000 acres) and sometimes I miss it. But mostly I miss being in that big beautiful resort lodge kitchen. I miss my little marina restaurant down on the Ohio River too. I served the best Reuben Sandwich (my own recipe -- posted on 'Zaar as The Shawnee Marina Reuben Sandwich) in both the State of Ohio and the Commonwealth of Kentucky down there and sold it for $2.95. Best deal on the river! <br /><br />They (friends and neighbors) call my kitchen The Ospidillo Cafe. Don't ask me why because it takes about a case of beer, time-wise, to explain the name. Anyway, it's a small galley kitchen with a Mexican motif (until my wife catches me gone for a week or so), and it's a very BUSY kitchen as well. We cook at all hours of the day and night. You are as likely to see one of my neighbors munching down over here as you are my wife or daughter. I do a lot of recipe experimentation and development. It has become a really fun post-retirement hobby -- and, yes, I wash my own dishes. <br /><br />Also, I'm the Cincinnati Chili Emperor around here, or so they say. (Check out my Ospidillo Cafe Cincinnati Chili recipe). SKYLINE CHILI is one of my four favorite chilis, and the others include: Gold Star Chili, Empress Chili and, my VERY favorite, Dixie. All in and around Cincinnati. Great stuff for cheap and I make it at home too. <br /><br />I also collect menus and keep them in my kitchen -- I have about a hundred or so. People go through them and when they see something that they want, I make it the next day. That presents some real challenges! <br /><br />http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/parks/parks/shawnee.htm</p>
