How to Cook Deer Steaks Wrapped in Bacon on a Grill

Deer meat is referred to as venison. Venison steaks are actually leaner and contain less fat than beef steaks that come from a cow. Venison steaks can be purchased at a grocery store or prepared by a butcher when you hunt your own deer. Grill your deer steaks with some bacon for extra flavor.

Things You'll Need

• Venison steaks
• 1 pkg. bacon
• 1 bulb garlic
• 2 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 3 tsp. butter
• Grill
• Food processor
• Toothpicks

Instructions

1. Prepare a sauce for the deer steaks the night before by placing the following items in a food processor: garlic (peeled), oil and butter. Blend until the garlic is finely chopped and mixed with oil and butter.

2. Turn your grill to medium-high heat.

3. Use some oil to grease up the grill racks. This will keep the venison steaks from sticking to the racks.

4. Rub salt and pepper all over your steaks.

5. Take some uncooked bacon and wrap it around each of the steaks. Use toothpicks to get them to stay on the steaks.

6. Place the deer steaks on the grill. Cook 8 to 10 minutes on each side for a medium steak. Minus 2 minutes per side for a rare steak and add 2 minutes per side for a well-done steak.

7. Set venison steaks on a platter and allow the juices to disperse.

8. Place the garlic-butter-oil mixture in the microwave for 1 minute to reheat and then pour over the steaks. Serve hot.

Tips & Warnings

• Chop onions and add them to the garlic butter sauce.

• Remove toothpicks before eating.
