Venison Gyros

Serves: 5

Items Needed:

Measuring spoons, knife, whisk, bowl, skillet

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons dried marjoram
  • 2 teaspoons ground dries rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 pounds venison, cut into 1/4 inch thick strips
  • Optional 1 (12 ounce) package pita breads, warmed

Directions

  1. Whisk together the olive oil  cumin, garlic, marjoram, rosemary, oregano, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the venison strips and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
