Sweet and Smoky Venison Kabobs

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet and Smoky Venison Kabobs.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious venison kabobs, grab a large mixing bowl and combine the minced onion, dry mustard powder, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and brown sugar.

2. Step 2

   Give it a good stir to blend all those flavors together.

3. Step 3

   Next, add in the crushed garlic, thickly sliced ginger, rice vinegar, liquid smoke, honey (or molasses if you prefer a deeper sweetness), and tomato puree.

4. Step 4

   Mix everything thoroughly until it’s well combined and you can almost smell the deliciousness coming together.

5. Step 5

   Now, take your venison cubes and toss them into the marinade, making sure each piece is generously coated.

6. Step 6

   Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or if you have the time, overnight is even better for that rich flavor infusion.

7. Step 7

   When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium heat.

8. Step 8

   While the grill warms up, take some soaked bamboo skewers and thread the marinated venison onto them, alternating with vibrant pieces of red and yellow bell pepper, red onion, halved mushrooms, and juicy cherry tomatoes.

9. Step 9

   This not only adds color but also a delightful mix of flavors.

10. Step 10

    Grill the kabobs for about 15 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the venison is perfectly cooked and no longer pink in the center.

11. Step 11

    If grilling isn’t an option, you can also bake the kabobs in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 10 minutes.
