I have this great recipe for Venison for Thanksgiving. I made it last year and it was a big hit! It's from Cooking Light Nov/Dec 1995. I serve this as the 2nd course after the soup. (I'm using Reggie's Wild Rice & Mushroom Soup this year it looks great!)

Combine the first 15 ingredients in a large zip-top heavy-duty plastic bag. Seal the bag, and marinate in the refrigerator 24 hours, turing the bag occasionally.

Remove the venison from the bag, and discard the marinade. Place the venison on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray, and broil 10 minutes on each side or until done.

Cut the venison crosswise into thin slices. Yeild: 8 servings (serving size: 3 oz.)
