My hunting partner shot his Gemsbok in New Mexico and bought over a loin. I am planning on grilling a couple steaks tomoorow for my son and I. Any recommendations would be great. Do you marinade the steaks and if so, how?
Thanks,
ddj

No experience with Gemsbok, but I would try wrapping in bacon and cook like any lean filet mignon

Do not overcook. It is lean so eat it rare. I wish I had friends like you

My PH and his wife in Namibia cut it into 1/2" thick slices and marinate it in a little olive oil, vinegar, garlic and fine chopped onion for about 24 hrs. Then on an outdoor fire he sears the slices on a VERY hot grill just to sear it. He does it outside because the olive oil will flare up pretty high. Once seared they place the slices in a warm dutch oven next to the fire just to keep them warm an "rest" a few minutes before eating.
They are medium rare to medium, very lean and very tender. Just don't over cook it.

Thanks for the help!
I have it in a marinade of olive oil, light dry rub and garlic now. I will let you know how it turns out.

That sounds good...like these other guys said...don't overcook it...I like it closer to rare..one of my favorite meats.Remember, like any steak, it will continue to cook inside after you've taken it off the grill, so take it off when you think it isnt quite ready...
It is some Goooooooood stuff!

lucky. that is the best game i've eaten. it's hard to go wrong with a little sea salt, fresh ground pepper and a very short time on the grill.

Treat it just like elk. It can be fantastic meat! Make saltimbocca with it. ...and serve with rosemary-roasted red potatoes.

Thanks for the wine recommendation. I agreed with a nice Cabernet. Perfect!

I love the old stove. It is a 1906 Ideal from San Francisco. It sits so low like the old stoves do, that I had to build a platform for it. It didn't take long to learn to judge temperatures in the oven by looking at the flame. No "set it, and forget it" feature.

I might hunt too much, but it is still not enough!

They're easy... Quarter red potatoes and sprinkle with olive oil and mix around. Salt & pepper to taste. I sprinkle a little garlic and onion powder on them...very little...so do it to your taste, then sprinkle with fresh rosemary if you have it or dried...the fresh goes Much farther... I spread them in a shallow roasting pan and roast until just starting to brown and get crusty in a medium hot oven. In my oven the setting is "flame about to turn from all blue to yellow at the tips".
