I do deer steaks submerged in homemade BBQ . It tenderizes them and keeps them from drying out. My approx. recipe is 1 can tomato soup, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tbs mustard, spices and 1/2 to 1 cup water to mix it all together. Put the steaks down in the sauce in my roasting pan with lid, in the oven at 325 - 350 degrees for 1-1/2 to 2 hours until they almost fall off the bone and the sauce thickens.
