🕒 Recipe Overview

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes (plus 2–4 hours marinating)
Cook Time: 10–12 minutes

📝 Ingredients

• 4 antelope steaks (about 180–200g each)
• ½ cup red wine
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp sea salt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade

In a medium bowl, mix together the red wine, olive oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper, and lemon juice.

2. Marinate the Steaks

Place the antelope steaks in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over them, making sure each steak is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2–4 hours for maximum flavor.

3. Preheat the Grill or Skillet

Set your grill (or heavy skillet) to medium-high heat. Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry — this helps achieve a perfect sear.

4. Grill to Perfection

Grill the steaks for 4–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Aim for medium-rare to keep the meat tender and flavorful.

5. Rest Before Serving

Let the steaks rest for about 5 minutes before slicing or serving. This allows the juices to redistribute.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

These grilled antelope steaks pair beautifully with:

• Roasted root vegetables
• Creamy mashed potatoes
• A fresh green salad

💡 Chef’s Tip

Antelope meat is naturally lean, so avoid overcooking it. Medium-rare is ideal for tenderness and rich flavor.
