Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 1¼ to 1½ pounds venison backstrap or sub with beef ribeye

SERVE WITH:

  • cooked jasmine rice for serving
  • green onions sliced, for serving
  • 1 recipe [asian slaw] for serving
  • [teriyaki sauce] for serving
  • toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • Cut the venison back strap into 1-inch pieces.
  • In a shallow dish, measure and add the soy sauce, water, mirin, honey, sugar and garlic.
  • Add the backstrap pieces and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerated for 24 hours, tossing once or twice during that time.
  • Lightly grease grill grates prior to preheating your grill to medium-high (450-500°). Thread the meat onto skewers (I double them up so they're easier to turn), leaving a little room between each piece.
  • Once the grill is hot, place them onto the grates and cook 3 to 4 minutes a side.
  • Remove and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and green onions.
  • Maket this a whole meal by serving with jasmine rice, a little teriyaki sauce and asian slaw!
