Elk Steak Marinade

Recipe View In a mixing bowl, whisk together the canola oil, minced onion, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper until thoroughly combined. This creates the base for our flavorful marinade. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Recipe View Place the elk steak in a large, resealable plastic bag. Pour the Worcestershire mixture over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated. Squeeze out any excess air and seal the bag tightly. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View Marinate the elk steak in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, or ideally overnight, turning the bag occasionally to ensure even distribution of the marinade. The longer the marinating time, the more tender and flavorful the steak will become. (Marinating time: 4+ hours)

Recipe View When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the steak from the bag and discard the marinade. Pat the steak dry with paper towels before grilling. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

Recipe View Grill the elk steak for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until it begins to firm up and is hot and slightly pink in the center. For medium-rare, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Adjust cooking time according to your desired level of doneness. (Cook time: ~10 minutes)

Recipe View Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. (Rest time: 5-10 minutes)
