Ingredients

• 4 pieces Venison chops
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Whisk thoroughly to form the marinade.

Step 2

Place the venison chops in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chops, making sure they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 3

Refrigerate the marinating venison chops for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse into the meat.

Step 4

Remove the venison chops from the refrigerator about 30 minutes prior to cooking to bring them to room temperature.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop.

Step 6

Remove the venison chops from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 7

If grilling, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the venison chops on the hot grill or in the skillet.

Step 8

Cook the venison chops for approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness.

Step 9

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, or 145°F (63°C) for medium. Avoid overcooking, as venison can become tough when overdone.

Step 10

Once cooked, transfer the venison chops to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 11

Serve the marinated venison chops hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
