I like to use a top or bottom round for this one. Cut it into roughly 1 inch or slightly larger cubes, trimming away any connective tissue as you go. Place the meat into a 1 gallon zip style bag.

Mix the marinade ingredients, reserving 3 tablespoons of bourbon and 2 tablespoons of honey for a glaze as the steak cooks.

Mix the bourbon honey marinade and pour over the venison.

Pour the marinade over the meat and refrigerate at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. When you are ready to cook, drain the excess marinade from the meat. Mix the reserved bourbon and honey and set aside.

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, drizzle over some vegetable or other high temperature oil, probably a couple tablespoons depending on pan size. Give the pan a swirl to evenly spread the oil.

Brown the marinated venison.

Place the steak tips into the pan, taking care not to overcrowd. Work in batches, if needed, to allow the meat to sear without steaming. Brown the venison on all sides, cooking to rare to medium rare. Drain any excess moisture from the pan, then return all the seared venison.

Pour the bourbon honey glaze over the browned venison steak tips and stir to evenly coat the meat.
