Like scores of other Alaskan hunters, I love cooking with moose meat and one of our family favorites is a delicious marinated moose steak cooked on the grill. There is something inherently satisfying with having the ability to prepare fast, healthy, and enjoyable meals for yourself and your loved ones with meat that you hunted yourself, cleaned yourself, and cooked yourself, completing the entire ‘field to table’ process!
This recipe only takes a few minutes to prepare, saving you time and getting you scores of compliments on the end result in the process….WIN!
Combine the following ingredients in a large Ziploc or dish and marinate for 6 hours, then grill!
* 1/3 cup soy sauce
* 1/2 cup olive oil
* 1/3 cup lemon juice
* 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
* 1 tablespoon garlic powder
* 3 tablespoons dried basil
* 1 tablespoon dried parsley
* dash of pepper
You can opt to marinade for longer and oftentimes we will prepare the recipe the night before and let the moose steak marinade in the fridge overnight. The next evening you can pull the meat out of the bag, throw it onto a pre-headed grill, and cook to your desired temperature!
Serve with red potatoes (boil for approximately 20 mins) and a simple Caesar salad (romaine lettuce, grated Parmesan cheese, croutons). We have used lettuce grown in our garden, which can grow like gangbusters during the long summer days in Alaska.
Sometimes we find ourselves with so much lettuce we hardly know what to do with it! You can see our mini-garden attempt here. If you give it a shot, let us know how it turns out!
The finished moose steak! Like we said before, these are sure to please, so if you end up giving this receive a try for yourself, we’d love to hear how it turns out. If you liked it, but also added your own ‘twist’, to this, we’d love to hear that as well! Enjoy!
We did just this the other day but marinaded the steaks for ~36 hours, then took the steaks just to 160°F on the grill. I’ve never had a better moose steak, and that was the consensus from others as well…
I have my moose steaks marinating and ready to take camping this weekend!! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!! I’m really looking forward to it!
@Mary Gail Did you get a chance to try this, Mary?
@Kyle Moffat Yes- we cut up marinated steaks and had kabobs over the campfire. It was FANTASTIC!!! The best moose steak ever!!! Going to repeat this one for sure! Thanks!
@Mary Gail Great! ‘The best moose steak ever’ has been a common sentiment with this recipe!!
No moose here in NC but we tried this with venison tenderloin tonight and it was yum!
Yummy with venison!
Very good marinade, made the moose very tender! ?
Do I marinate in fridge or room temp
You can do either way! I usually just pop it in the refrigerator in the morning while we prepare other things or go about our day. You can quick marinade for an hour or even as long as overnight!
Great on Alaskan Dall Sheep tenderloin. Skewered with veggies soaked in same marinade/ different bags. Added brn sugar/ honey/ seasoned salt/ hickory smoked salt.
Marinated moose strip steaks for 2 days then threw them on the grill. Best moose steaks I’ve had.
First time marinating 2 moose steaks for dinner in 2 days.
They’re on the small side and feel more tender than beef sirloin steaks.
Weather permitting, I’m looking forward to grilling them.
Excellent! Used this on a roast and slow cooker. Using it for stew today. Marinate overnight.
Fantastic! Let us know how it goes!
I continue to use this recipe on moose meat for stews and soups. After marinating I just pour off what little remains and use the meat with the above. I add oxo beef broth. Everyone loves it at every style.
My husband and I just tried this. We had a big moose roast that we cut into smaller pieces and marinaded for 6 hours. It was amazing! I don’t usually leave comments but this was so good that I had to say Thank You for sharing your recipe.
Wonderfully delicious moose marinade! Made it for the first time . This recipe is a definite keeper! Thank you for sharing.
This is one of my favorite marinades for red meat, makes an awesome gravey if you cook your roast in it as well.
I have made this several times now, for my moose dishes, and it is just a hit:). This time, I’ve got a roast hanging out in it. I, slow cooking it after marinating overnight, and I expect I’ll throw the remaining marinade in the pot also, to flavour the gravy! Thank you again!!!
Awesome! We love this recipe as well and use it often!
I’ve had a similar recipe for this, so thought I’d try yours but add my mini twist. Instead of a dash of pepper, I add 1 tablespoon of Montreal steak seasoning. Marinade in ziploc overnight in fridge, bring out and get to room temp before dropping on grill! Absolutely amazing! Will continue to be my go to! Thanks
Good call on the Montreal Steak seasoning! We love that stuff, too!
