For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the barbeque sauce. If you prefer a spicier sauce, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper. Venison steaks can be substituted with other lean cuts of red meat, such as elk or bison. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
02
Step
8 mins
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent (approximately 5 minutes). Stir in the ketchup, lemon juice, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and yellow mustard. Heat through, ensuring all ingredients are well combined (about 3 minutes).
03
Step
8 mins
Heat a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Generously season the venison steaks with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sear the steaks in the hot skillet until browned on each side, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer the seared steaks to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the prepared ketchup mixture evenly over the steaks.
04
Step
1 hrs
Bake in the preheated oven until the steaks are cooked to your desired doneness, about 1 hour for medium. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer for accurate results.
05
Step
5 mins
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Transfer the steaks to a serving platter, gently shaking off any excess sauce back into the baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together the cold water and cornstarch until smooth, creating a slurry. Stir the slurry into the hot sauce remaining in the baking dish. Return the baking dish to the stovetop over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the barbeque sauce begins to thicken to your desired consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
06
StepPour the thickened barbeque sauce generously over the venison steaks. Serve immediately and enjoy!
