- Marinate venison steaks in this mixture for at least 10 minutes, making sure to turn them once to coat evenly.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels to prevent steaming while cooking.

- Baste the steaks with the glaze during this final minute of cooking to enhance flavor.
- Once cooked, remove the steaks from heat and let them rest for approximately 5 minutes.

Notes
For optimal results, marinate the steaks for up to 2 hours. Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.
