Instructions

Whisk together all ingredients in a jar or bowl until well combined.
Place the venison in a large bowl and pour the marinade over, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover and refrigerate.
Marinate based on the cut: 1-2 hours if short on time, or 4-12 hours for steaks and backstrap (up to 24 hours), and 4-8 hours for cubed meat. Thin slices can marinate for 2-6 hours.
About 30 minutes before cooking, remove the venison from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Set on a clean plate to reach room temperature and cook as desired.

Notes

Adjust marinating time based on your schedule for optimal flavor enhancement.
This marinade works great with various cuts of venison, including steaks and backstraps.
Always discard any leftover marinade after use to ensure safety.
