Venison - It's what's for dinner !
Just experimenting on other ways to prep wild game meat. Had venison steaks marinaded in tequila lime. Grilled it, YUM, no leftovers [:p].
Here's the marinade I use ...
Tequila Lime Marinade
? 1/2 c. tequila
? 1/4 c. fresh lime juice
? zest from 1 lime
? 1 fresh ripe jalape?o chile (the red one) - minced
? 2 stalks green onion - minced
? 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
? 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
? 1 tbsp. sugar
? 1/2 tsp. salt
? 1/3 c. olive oil
? ? c. cilantro
? 1 tbsp fresh garlic
Steps
1 Mix all the ingredients together.
2 Let the mixture sit, preferably overnight, but at least for 2 to 3 hours.
3 Shake the mixture well, then reserve 1/2 c. to use as a baste.
4 Marinate white meats such as chicken or pork for up to 2 hours. Fish and shellfish should marinate for 45 minutes. Shake the food often while it marinates.
5 When grilling marinated food, use reserved marinade as a baste during the second half of cooking.
6 Discard used marinade when you start cooking.
Tips & Warnings
? This marinade packs a kick, so be sure to use it carefully. It's best when made a day ahead, so the fresh jalape?o has a chance to blend in.
? Be sure to follow the marinating time recommendations carefully.
? Since this recipe contains alcohol, be wary of flame-ups when grilling. Use metal utensils and move food if flames persist.
Enjoy [^]!
