Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 4 venison steaks
  • 1 sprig of thyme
  • 3 sprigs of rosemary
  • 12 juniper berries
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 7 tablespoons oil of your choice
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Preparation

Preparation

First of all, wash the venison steaks and pat them dry. Then peel the garlic and cut it into thin slices. Next, remove the stems from the thyme and rosemary and chop the herbs. To allow the aroma to develop well, crush the juniper berries so that the skin cracks slightly.

Marinating

For the marinade, mix together the vinegar, oil, thyme, rosemary, garlic, juniper berries, salt, and plenty of pepper and stir well. Now the venison steaks can be marinated. Allow the steaks to sit in the refrigerator for about 3 hours, or even overnight.

Grilling

Now it's time to heat up the grill. Before the steaks go on the grill, let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes so they warm up a little. In the meantime, you can prepare your desired side dishes. Tip: Grilled beans, mushrooms, and potatoes go perfectly with venison steaks.

Now it's getting serious: Grill the venison steaks over direct heat (over the glowing coals) for about 10 minutes. Flip them halfway through. Now the delicious steaks can be served with your desired side dishes and enjoyed!

Another pro tip

For a truly great smoky flavor, we recommend grillart smoking chips in Whisky or Beech varieties; they go perfectly with game, and the aroma is uniquely good! A poem...
