This recipe for Grapefruit Marinated Elk Steak is from our featured blogger Nevada Foodies.

I enjoy experimenting with a variety of seasonings and marinades for our wild game steaks instead of stocking up on mass produced marinades you can find at the grocery store.

Crafting your own marinade gives you flexibility to adjust the flavors accordingly to your palette. Not to mention, you can utilize some of the items that you might already have on the counter, in the pantry or in the fridge.

Citrus juice is a fantastic ingredient to use for marinading steaks. The acidic liquid doesn’t over power the meat, but instead adds subtle and fresh hints to each and every bite. I have marinaded wild game meat with orange juice for a elk-broccoli stir-fry as well as lemon juice for elk gyros.

Try this a tangy mixture of grapefruit juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, freshly ground peppercorns and olive oil for a flavorful grilled wild game dish.
