John's Venison Marinade

John's Key Venison Marinade Ingredient: Montreal Steak Seasoning

Updated December 2019
Our friend, John, is a very serious hunter and is equally serious about how his venison is cooked.  His venison tenderloin is SO good.  I interviewed him to find out how he does it.  The amounts are my best guesstimates...

John's Venison Marinade

For 3 tenderloins

Montreal Steak seasoning by McCormick
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons chopped garlic
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce -- quite a bit
2 T. each oil and vinegar
red pepper flakes to taste

In the marinade - before grilling
Rub the meat generously with the McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning.  Mix together the other ingredients and pour over the meat and turn to coat evenly.  Refrigerate.  Periodically turn the meat in the marinade.

He marinates the venison for two days, then grills it until it is rare to medium rare. (Don't over cook venison.)  He lets it rest.   Then, slices it across the grain and serves it on a platter. 

Delicious!  Doesn't taste game-y at all.  I could taste berries.  The marinade brings out the best in the meat.
