For the longest time I had terrible trouble with my deer meat being too chewy but it was never over-cooked (once I got the hang of grilling it). I went to a local grocer the other day and bought a tenderizer hammer and the tenderizer "salt" or whatever you call it and took two packaged deer loins from the same deer hammered one and put the tenderizer on it and did the other how I always did it just adding seasoning and grilled them both. The one I tenderized was the best deer steak I have ever eaten. the other one was still a bit chewy. But the tenderized one cooked a LOT quicker as expected but was left nice and juicy and a little red where as the other one seemed to dry up a lot even still being a little red in the middle.
Before it hit the grill I took the tenderizer hammer and I tenderized the deer on both sides flipping it a few times. After that I began adding my seasonings. I began by putting on some Lawry's Seasoned Salt on both sides. Then I added a little garlic salt, then proceed to put on the tenderizer salt. Once I had applied this to a side I lightly rubbed it all in to ensure it wasn't going to just come off on the plate. Once I put it on the grill cooking on the lowest heat possible, I let it sit for about 2 minutes on each side before flipping it. After the 2 minutes each side, I flipped it once a minute (roughly). The meat was done in about 4-5 minutes. It was just a little pink on the inside but it was the juiciest and most flavor filled deer steak I have ever ate!!
I may have found my new favorite way to have my deer steaks!! I'll post some pictures next time I make them!

When grilling Deer chops or steaks, great care must be taken while cooking them. What I do is first soak steaks, over night, in a weak solution of salt water. Then rinse off and pat dry, then spray each side with Pam, to prevent sticking to the HOT grill, and seasonings may be applied at this time. I cook them for about three minutes each side or until the pink color is just about gone, as I prefer my steaks cooked medium/well. Now for tough steaks from an older Deer, I once again soak the steaks in a weak solution of salt water over night. Then I take the steaks and rinse them off and coat them with "Kentucky Kernel" seasoned flour. I then fry them in veg. oil until nice and brown on both sides, in my electric skillet, and remove browned steaks and discard oil. Then replace steaks to my electric skillet mix-up and add one packet of McCormick AU Jus Gravy mix mixed according to instructions and pour over the steaks and let simmer until fork tender. Serve with rice or mashed potatoes.
