Instructions

Whisk together all ingredients in a jar or bowl until well combined.
Place the venison in a large bowl and pour the marinade over it, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate.
Marinate according to the cut: 1-2 hours for quick flavor, or longer if preferred—4-12 hours for steaks and backstrap, 4-8 hours for cubed meat, 2-6 hours for thin slices.
About 30 minutes before cooking, remove venison from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place on a clean plate and let come to room temperature before cooking as desired.

Notes

Ensure the venison is fully coated in the marinade for the best flavor.
For an enhanced taste, allow marinating longer within the given time ranges.
Use fresh garlic for a stronger flavor profile.
