"This was originally for T-bone steaks but it works just as nicely with deer. The rub helps minimize the 'gamey' taste and the butter just makes them delicious."

Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons steak seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
  • 4 (1/2 pound) venison steaks

Directions

  1. Whip together the butter, lime juice, and cilantro in a small bowl until well combined. Transfer the butter mixture onto a large piece of plastic wrap, gently wrap and form the butter into a log. Freeze until ready to use.
  2. Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
  3. Mix together the steak seasoning and ancho chile powder in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning blend onto both sides of the venison steaks.
  4. Grill the steaks to preferred doneness, 5 to 8 minutes per side for medium. Top each steak with a slice of the lemon-cilantro butter to serve.
