Wild Game Marinade
« on: December 21, 2008, 04:02:58 PM »
I saw this on a cooking show years ago, used for quail.  The chef said it was fantastic on big game as well so I tried it and have been enjoying it ever since.

1/3 cup red wine (Merlot)
Oregano - minced, fresh
Basil - minced, fresh
1 clove garlic - crushed/minced
1/4 cup (or less) virgin olive oil
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
a good splash of Balsamic vinegar

Whisk and pour over steaks in a Zip Lock bag or pie plate (as shown).  Marinate 2-4 hours, then grill to your liking.

Give it a try.  Enjoy!!

Anytime!  With all this cold weather and snow piling up, I wanted a home-cooked meal tonight.  Local blacktail, Au Gratin potatoes, and fresh steamed veggies... :EAT:

I have used one very similar for years.  I use a commercial dry Italian 5-herb blend (oregano, basil, etc), a little less red wine (1/4c, cabernet only because that's what I prefer to sip), 1/2 the EVOO (2 Tbsp), at least 2 TBSP of the balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp each sea salt and fresh ground pepper.  Mix it all up with a whisk, I usually only marinate about 5-10 minutes before grilling, but longer is fine too (even overnight).  About 2lbs 3/4" or so thick steaks, three minutes on a side on the hottest grill possible, rare to medium rare.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
