In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well-blended. Next, add in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and balsamic vinegar and stir to incorporate the flavors thoroughly.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Marinate the Venison<\/h3>\n<p>Place the venison steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the dish with plastic wrap or the bag securely, then refrigerate. Allow the venison to marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for more intense flavor absorption.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Preheat the Grill<\/h3>\n<p>About 20 minutes before you\u2019re planning to cook the steaks, remove them from the refrigerator to allow them to come to room temperature. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400\u00b0F (204\u00b0C).<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Grill the Venison Steaks<\/h3>\n<p>Once the grill is hot, oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the marinated venison steaks on the grill. Cook the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, for medium-rare. Adjust the time for your preferred doneness \u2013 less time for rare, more time for medium-well.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Rest the Steaks<\/h3>\n<p>Remove the grilled venison steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board, tented loosely with aluminum foil, for about 5 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful steak.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 6: Serve and Enjoy<\/h3>\n<p>Once rested, garnish the venison steaks with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired and serve immediately. These flavorful steaks pair wonderfully with grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete Paleo-friendly meal.<\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Summary<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Total Calories (per steak):<\/strong> Approximately 225 calories<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preparation Time:<\/strong> 15 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cooking Time:<\/strong> 10 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marinating Time:<\/strong> 2 hours (minimum)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total Time:<\/strong> About 2 hours and 25 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Enjoy these deliciously robust Paleo-Friendly Grilled Venison Steaks, perfect for a nutritious and mouthwatering meal that adheres to natural, whole-food principles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paleo-Friendly Grilled Venison Steak Ingredients 4 venison steaks (approximately 6 ounces each) 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped 1 teaspoon sea salt 1\/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 lemon, juiced and zested 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar Optional: fresh rosemary sprigs [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":840,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[70],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-main"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/wildeatsandtreats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image-175.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildeatsandtreats.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildeatsandtreats.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildeatsandtreats.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildeatsandtreats.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildeatsandtreats.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=841"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wildeatsandtreats.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":842,"href":"https:\/\/wildeatsandtreats.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841\/revisions\/842"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildeatsandtreats.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wildeatsandtreats.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildeatsandtreats.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wildeatsandtreats.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
