Miso-Marinated Venison Steak Recipe

This Miso Marinated Venison Steak is full of umami flavor that compliments this delicious steak served with baby bok choy and mushrooms.
This venison recipe will give your same-old steak routine a welcome boost. Here, a quick steak marinade is all it takes to infuse the deer backstrap with deep soy and miso flavors, leaving you a flash in the pan away from dinner.
Miso is a traditional Japanese condiment that provides generous umami. Combined with the garlic and soy sauce you'll have a tangy punch of flavor that doesnโ€™t overpower this great venison steak. This is one of my favorite easy dinner ideas, perfect for a weeknight dinner that the entire family will enjoy!
I love using antelope steak, deer steak, and elk steak for my venison recipes. But I most often use deer backstrap to make this wild game dish just because I hunt a lot of white-tailed deer and mule deer here in North Dakota.
