Ingredients

Scale

For the Steaks:

  • 4 venison steaks (4–6 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

For the Red Wine Reduction:

  • 1 cup dry red wine (Merlot or Cabernet)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2–3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Steaks:
    • Let venison steaks rest at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
    • Drizzle olive oil over the steaks, then season with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  2. Grill the Steaks:
    • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates.
    • Grill steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temp 130°F).
    • Remove from grill and let rest under foil for 5 minutes.
  3. Make the Red Wine Reduction:
    • In a saucepan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, cooking until fragrant.
    • Pour in red wine and simmer for 5 minutes, reducing by half.
    • Add beef broth, balsamic vinegar, and thyme. Simmer for another 5–7 minutes, reducing further.
    • Remove from heat and whisk in remaining butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble the Dish:
    • Plate the steaks and drizzle the red wine reduction over the top. Garnish with parsley or lemon zest if desired.

Notes

  • For added tenderness, marinate the steaks in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before cooking.
  • Keep an eye on the grill—venison cooks faster than beef due to its low fat content.
