Venison Steak Marinated in Red Wine

Kent Kurrus, the wine expert and marksman shared his annual venison catch with us. He also inspired this marinade, saying "you must start with red wine", but what would you expect from the owner of a wine shop? The marinade seasons the lean meat beautifully, allowing it to remain moist without overpowering its delicious flavor.
Yield 4 servings

Ingredients

Marinade:
1/3 cup red wine
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
pinch of allspice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

4 venison steaks

1 Whisk together the marinade ingredients.

2 Place steaks in plastic bag or glass bowl and pour marinade over, turning steaks to coat well. Marinate for 4 hours.

3 Prepare a charcoal or gas grill. Venison cooks quickly - grill the meat for about 2 minutes on each side, depending on thickness and your preference. Venison should be served rare to medium rare.
