Instructions

In a large bowl or shallow dish, whisk together all the marinade ingredients.
Add the venison steaks and turn to coat all sides. Cover and refrigerate for 4-12 hours, but no longer than 24 hours.
About 30 minutes before cooking, remove the steaks from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Transfer to a clean plate and let the steaks come to room temperature.
In a small bowl, mix together all the garlic herb butter ingredients until combined and set aside.
Heat a cast iron skillet or grill over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. If grilling, grease the grates.
Once hot, cook the steaks for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare. If the exterior begins to char too quickly, reduce the heat. Note: Total cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the steaks. Keep in mind, the internal temperature of the steaks will continue to rise about 5°F while the steaks rest.
Transfer the steaks to a clean plate and top with a spoonful of garlic herb butter. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve with fresh lemon wedges and remaining garlic herb butter.

Notes

Marinate the venison steaks for at least 4 hours for the best flavor.
Let the cooked steaks rest before slicing to retain their juices.
Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your venison steaks.
