Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s move on to the cooking process. Follow these steps to achieve perfectly grilled venison steaks with garlic butter:

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

1. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 2: Marinate the Steaks

1. Place the venison steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
2. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well-coated.
3. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to enhance the flavor absorption.

Step 3: Prepare the Grill

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C).
2. Clean the grill grates to prevent sticking and ensure a clean cooking surface.

Step 4: Grill the Venison Steaks

1. Remove the marinated steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
2. Place the steaks on the preheated grill.
3. Cook each side for approximately 4-5 minutes for medium-rare doneness. Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
4. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Aim for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

Step 5: Prepare the Garlic Butter

1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
2. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes).
3. Stir in chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Step 6: Serve the Steaks

1. Once the steaks are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
2. Drizzle the warm garlic butter over each steak before serving.
