Grilled Reverse Sear Venison Loin
- 1 pound Venison Loin (whole, trimmed)
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/8 cup Worcestershire
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 1 Lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes
- Combine olive oil, soy sauce, and Worcestershire in small bowl
- Squeeze juice from lemon into bowl, discarding the lemon
- Press garlic and add to bowl
- Add red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, stir well
- Trim venison loin, making sure to remove "silverskin", place in waterproof freezer bag
- Add marinade from bowl to bag
- Refrigerate 4 - 8 hours
- Preheat grill or smoker to 200F
- Remove loin from fridge while grill warms up
- Add loin to smoker and smoke until internal temperature is 15 degrees below final desired temperature (I like my venison very rare at 125, so I remove it from the smoker at 110).
- Remove venison from smoker at desired temperature and cover with foil
- Preheat grill to highest temperature setting (tip: I use both a smoker and a grill, so I start preheating the grill 15 minutes before I am ready to remove the loin from the smoker)
- Place loin on hottest part of the grill and brown (2-5 min), repeat browning all sides (tip to get a good maillard reaction (browning) and prevent overcooking the meat, I leave the grill uncovered during this step)
- Check internal temperature to ensure loin has reached desired temperature, remove from grill, tent with foil and rest
- Slice thinly across the grain and serve
loin, olive oil, soy sauce, worcestershire, garlic, lemon, salt, red pepper
