Venison London Broil
Ingredients:
- 1 hind leg of venison (deboned)
- Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce
- Steak seasoning
Directions:
1. Prepare the Venison Cuts:
- Start by removing the shank from the hind leg of the deer.
- Separate the leg into four distinct muscles:
- Top Round: The largest muscle (ideal for London Broil).
- Bottom Round: Great for roasts.
- Eye of the Round: A long, thin muscle perfect for roasts.
- Shank Portion: Best used for stew meat or ground venison.
2. Trim and Slice the London Broil:
- Select the top round and remove all fat and sinew.
- Identify the grain of the meat—you’ll need to cut against the grain for the most tender results.
- Slice the London Broil into 1 to 1¼-inch thick steaks from the thickest end of the top round.
3. Tenderize & Season:
- Place each London Broil steak on a cutting board and use a hand tenderizer to break down muscle fibers.
- Lightly baste the steak with Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce for added flavor and moisture.
- Generously season with your favorite steak seasoning (Backwoods Hickory Jerky seasoning is a great option).
4. Cook to Perfection:
- Broil or grill the steaks over medium-high heat, cooking just until the center is pink.
- Avoid overcooking, London Broil is best served medium-rare to medium for optimal tenderness.
5. Rest & Serve:
- Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with a baked potato and your favorite vegetable for a hearty meal.
Tips for the Best Venison London Broil:
✅ Cut Against the Grain – This makes the meat more tender.
✅ Use a Meat Thermometer – 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.
✅ Marinate for Extra Flavor – If time allows, marinate the steaks in Worcestershire sauce overnight.
✅ Don’t Overcook! – Venison is lean, so it can dry out quickly.
Enjoy this bold, flavorful venison dish cooked to perfection!
