30 ml olive oil
22.5 g ground cumin
15 ml minced garlic
15 ml red wine vinegar
15 ml dried oregano
10 ml dried marjoram
10 ml ground dried rosemary
salt and pepper to taste
1.4 kg venison, cut into 6 mm thick strips
1 (340 g) package pita breads, warmed
Step 1
In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, garlic, vinegar, oregano, marjoram, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add venison strips and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, add 225 g of venison at a time and cook until browned on the outside and no longer pink on the inside, about 8 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 70 degrees C.
Step 3
Serve the succulent venison shawarma on warmed pitas.
