Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 pounds venison, cut into 1-inch cubes
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and honey until well combined.
Add minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the liquid mixture. Whisk again to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed.
Place the cubed venison into a large resealable plastic bag or airtight container.
Pour the marinade over the venison, ensuring all pieces are fully submerged in the liquid.
Seal the bag or cover the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
When ready to cook, remove the venison from the marinade and thread it onto skewers for grilling or roasting.
Dispose of the used marinade or bring it to a rolling boil for 10 minutes if you plan to use it as a basting sauce.
Cook the venison skewers on a preheated grill or broiler until the meat reaches your desired level of doneness, approximately 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
