Margaret's Marinade for venison and lamb

[Constance]

We were weekend guests at some friend's home up close to Springfield. Margaret served us what looked like very juicy, grilled sirloin steaks. They turned out to be venison, but you never would have known it. She gave me this recipe for the marinade, and I have used it on many things. It's so good.

Margaret's Marinade

Mix together:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon marjoram
1 teaspoon thyme, crushed
1/2 teaspoon pepper, fresh ground
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Pour over meat and pierce with fork. Turn meat over and repeat process. Cover and let marinate, refrigerated, for at least 4 hours. Overnight
is best.

Bear season started last weekend Constance
and deer will start soon.
I'll keep this handy... I'm sure this will be the year that Paul
gets his first kill.

Thank you!!

I've never eaten bear, PDS, but I've had doughnuts fried in bear grease. We were staying at a fishing resort in Northern Wisconsin, and the owners' son had gotten a bear the winter before.
It grossed my mother out when she found out those lovely light doughnuts had been fried in bear lard, but I thought it was kinda cool.
