The longer you marinade the venison steaks the better they taste.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In fact, one easy recipe hack is to mix together all the marinade ingredients then place into a bag. Add the venison steak then place in the freezer. I prefer the <a target = \"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/306M1Au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sealer bags<\/a> (and if you are processing your own venison meat you probably own one).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The vacuum sealed bag causes the marinade to be fully absorbed by the steaks and the taste is amazing. In fact I recommend using vacuum sealer to marinate the meat even if you aren&#8217;t freezing it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you plan on making this a freezer meal you&#8217;ll need to plan ahead. The venison marinade needs to be frozen with the steaks the first time you freeze it for storage. It&#8217;s not safe to thaw and refreeze the deer meat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The venison marinade and steak will keep in the freezer for at least a month.<\/p>\n<h3>My favorite marinades<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a target = \"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/chicken-marinade\/\">Chicken\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target = \"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/great-steaks-at-home\/\">Steak<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target = \"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/grilled-salmon\/\">Salmon<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-33538\" src=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/files\/2009\/12\/PIN_Easy_Venison_Marinade.jpg\" alt=\"Easy Venison Marinade\" width=\"630\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/files\/2009\/12\/PIN_Easy_Venison_Marinade.jpg 630w, https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/files\/2009\/12\/PIN_Easy_Venison_Marinade-210x300.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>You might also like&#8230;<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/au-gratin-potatoes\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Au Gratin Potatoes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target = \"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/great-steaks-at-home\/\">Great Steaks at Home<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target = \"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/cherry-apple-pork-loin-slow-cooker\/\">Cherry Apple Pork Loin: Slow Cooker<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target = \"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/prosciutto-arugula-grilled-pizza\/\">Prosciutto &amp; Aragulla Grilled Pizza<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a target = \"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thehappyhousewife.com\/cooking\/grilled-thai-chicken\/\">Grilled Thai Chicken<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For years we&#8217;d have a freezer full of venison every hunting season.
