Ingredients
Instructions
- Marinate the venison steaks overnight in salad oil, chopped onion, salt, and Worcestershire sauce, turning several times.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Roll the marinated steaks in seasoned cracker crumbs to taste.
- Place the coated steaks in a baking dish.
- Roast in the oven at 350°F, turning every 20 minutes, until cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense flavor, consider adding garlic or herbs like rosemary to the marinade. If you're out of Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce can be used as a substitute. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free cracker crumbs. Be sure to marinate the steaks for at least 8 hours to achieve the best flavor and tenderness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the venison steaks with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh Marinated Cucumber Salad for a light complement. A creamy potato dish, such as mashed potatoes, also pairs wonderfully. Enhance the meal with a drizzle of Poppy Seed Salad Dressing for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover venison steaks can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can dry out the meat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I grill the venison steaks instead of roasting them?
Absolutely! Grilling adds a wonderful smoky flavor. Preheat your grill to medium-high and cook the marinated steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust the time based on your desired doneness.
