Venison Gyros or Dee-yros

[Mason Dixon Bowhunta]

Tried something different today and made some Greek Gyros. Decided not to use lamb and used some venison instead.

Dug some steaks out of the freezer from doe I shot last fall. Marinated them for 24 hours in a mixture of greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, oregano and cumin

Wiped off the excess marinade and rubbed the steaks with EVOO, salt and pepper and grilled them over some lump charcoal

Cooked perfect medium rare, sliced and ready to go

Tossed some flatbread on the grill and then piled them high with the venison, feta, red onion, cucumber, mint, tomato and tzatziki sauce

It was freaking awesome! The marinade made the venison steaks super tender and flavorful.

Thanks for looking!

Looks great!

I've got a loin frozen from a young doe I got this fall, is that the same cut as you are using?

Can I get a couple of those?

I'm out of venison but I think I still have a little Elk. Those look great!

No the backstraps are all long gone at my house lol. I guess these would be considered top round steaks

Me too. I just have a lb of ground left. I need to stop giving so much of it away

I cook and eat a lot of game meat because I’m big into bow hunting. I have elk, antelope, bear and mule deer on my freezer. I think I’m better than most at cooking game meat but yours looks better than anything I have put on the table. Is that white tail?

Thanks I appreciate that. This is from a whitetail taken on a little suburban property just outside of Baltimore

Awesome. I’m 38 and I’ve been hunting since I was 10. I have hunted a few different western states. I’m embarrassed to say I have never even seen a white tail in real life. I need to get after it. The meat looks delicious.
