- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove venison from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
- Cook steaks on the preheated grill until they are firm, hot in the center, and just turning from pink to grey, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 150 degrees F (65 degrees C).

Reviews
I used venison loin and cooked it using the sous vide method. It was very tender and moist but I very much disliked the flavor. I think it was the lime juice. I’ll leave it out next time.
I love it it’s the easiest marinade I’ve ever made and last night was my first time making it and today is my second time making it
Made this multiple times amazing every time. I am going to make pork jerky with it see how that goes!
This marinade for venison was amazing. We used venison loin and marinated it for about 8 hours. Grilled on med as recommended. It was moist, tender and not gamey. Will make it again with another cut of venison.
Best homemade venison marinade I’ve had! Started this am using venison tenderloin and marinated all day. Flavor was amazing!! Didn’t and wouldn’t change a thing. Thanks Thorney! We loved this recipe!
Delicous! I subbed basil for the thyme because i didnt have any and added a tsp of liquid smoke, plus I didnt have the dried mustard. Only marinated for 2 hours. After grilling I let it rest for 5 minutes covered before slicing into fine cuts. We had it over a spinach salad, super delicous, moist and tender.
I marinated backstrap with this and it was the best venison I’ve had in my life!
I let our venison chops marinate in this all day in the fridge, But I added 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil because I had five chops in the baggy. I flip the baggy over every couple of hours. We grilled them and they were delicious!
Delicious! Will make again and again!
It was very tasty.. didn’t have any limes so I used lemon juice. I’ll make it again.
We loved it. One of my daughters hates venison. I used this recipe with cubed steaks. She didn’t realize what she was eating till she was almost done. Lol she said I thought it looked too dark for beef!
Great flavor for grilling venison or tougher cuts of beef. Add 2 tbsp of brown sugar for an equally great marinade for jerky.
Came out great. Made it just like the recipe, except I used garlic powder. Was delicious with a little kick.
Came out great, I did add a little garlic infused olive oil for some added flavor.
I will definitely make it again. I don’t like that much spice though. I’ll probably cut back on the red peppers
Great marinade for our venison tenderloin.
My husband made this marinade for some venison backstrap and it was seriously delicious!! He grilled the venison and it was tender and flavorful. Thanks Thorney for a great recipe!
Amazing! If kids are eating, use less red pepper . I had to double marinade recipe to get enough to soak it
No changes, first time making it. Smelled great, nest time I think I will double up on the measurements. would have liked a bit more. Thank you Emily. I’ll tell you more after dinner.
Best tasting deer ever!
We have used this marinade recipe several times and it is always great! Really gets rid of the gamey taste. Excellent.
