Venison Shish Kebab
This is a good campfire or grill recipe.
First, make a maranade by combining:
1/2 cup flavored vinegar (onion or garlic works well
1/2 cup olive oil,
1/4 cup minced onion,
1 T ground coriander
1 T seasoning salt
Mix well and let stand while preparing the meat.
Second, Prepare the meat:
Take 2 lbs of venison (shoulder or rumb roast works well here) and cut into 1.5" cubes and place in a bowl.
Shake the jar of maranade vigerously to mix the vinegar and oil. Then, just cover the meat with the marinade for 8 hours (overnight works too) - stirring occasionally to keep the vinegar mixed with the oil and all pieces of meat coated with both. (The vinegar in the marinade accomplishes two things: it tenderizes the meat, and it makes it taste delicious.)
Put bamboo skewers in a pan of water and let soak while doing the following:
Prepare Vegies:
Cut several green bell peppers into 1" squares. Place in a small dish.
Peal then cut a red onion into quarters - and separate the layers. Place in a small dish.
Clean a box of fresh button mushrooms. Place in a small dish.
Wash a box of cherry tomatoes. Place in a small dish.
Forth, Making and cooking a delicious meal:
Next, get the meat out of the frige, and drain.
Line up the small dishes of vegies and the meat so that all are easy to reach.
Now, it it time to take a break and get the fire going. Place a few characoal briquets in the fire bed, then lay in the fire, and light. I have constructed a work table near my fire circle so I do the following
where I can also tend the fire.
Get a skewer and - start with a chunk of meat: put the skewer square to the grain of the meat (Keep the meat grain verticle and the skewer horizontal.) Then add one kind of vegie, then another chunk of meat, and another kind of vegie. Keep doing until the skewer is filled. Place on a
tray, then get another skewer and repeate.
Somewhere between the first and last Skewer, there will be hot coals to rake aside. Add more wood to keep the coals coming.
Place a clean grill (presprayed with Pam or some other nonstick spray) over the coals and let it get hot.
While the grill is heating, finish skewering the food and brush the shish kebabs with the olive oil from the maranade. Then, place on the grill and cook just as you would a 1.5 inch steak. Use tongs to turn and again to lift the finished products onto plates. Plan on making 3 to 5 per person and this recipe will feed 4 people.
We served these at an outdoor party - couldn't cook them fast enough.
