A nice deer steak doesn’t need too much fancy seasoning. This simple red wine marinade will do. Inspired by BigStupidFingers’ “Flat Iron Steak in a Red Wine Reduction with Peppercorns.”
Ready in: 1 hour 25 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup red wine
• 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
• Pinch white sugar
• Pinch salt
• 1 (1 1/4-inch thick) venison steak (or more), at room temperature

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 10 mins | Extra time: 1 hour, marinating

1. Stir red wine, peppercorns, sugar, and salt together and heat for about 5 minutes in saucepan over medium heat. Allow to cool slightly, then pour into large resealable plastic bag, Add steak, seal the bag, turn to coat, and refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate.
2. Set a cast-iron skillet in the oven and preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
3. Remove cast-iron skillet from oven and set over high heat on the stove. Lift steak out of marinade and lay down in the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side to brown.
4. Place skillet with steak back into the oven. Bake for about 6 minutes, until steak reaches an internal temperature of 135 to 140 degrees F (for medium-rare).
5. Remove skillet from oven and transfer steak onto a plate. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to reabsorb into the steak. Serve.Note
