Venison is a lean, flavorful meat that is a great source of protein and iron. It is also a relatively inexpensive cut of meat, making it a good option for budget-minded cooks. However, venison can be tough and gamey if it is not cooked properly. This recipe uses a simple marinade and cooking method to ensure that the venison is tender and juicy.
