For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno peppers before threading them onto the skewers. If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent them from burning. To add a touch of sweetness, consider including pineapple chunks or cherry tomatoes on the skewers. Serve the Venison Shish Kebabs with a side of couscous, quinoa, or a fresh garden salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, ground ginger, dry mustard powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until the sugar is fully dissolved. (2 minutes)
02
Step
1 mins
Gradually whisk in the vegetable oil until the marinade is emulsified. (1 minute)
03
Step
5 mins
Add the venison cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat. (5 minutes)
04
Step
10 mins
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Remove the venison from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade. (2 minutes)
06
Step
20 mins
Thread the marinated venison cubes onto the soaked skewers, alternating with chunks of onion, jalapeno peppers, and green bell peppers, creating colorful and appealing kebabs. (20 minutes)
07
Step
10 mins
Carefully place the assembled skewers onto the preheated grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until the venison is cooked to your desired degree of doneness. For medium-rare, this will take approximately 8-12 minutes total. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy. (10 minutes)
08
Step
5 mins
Remove the cooked kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite. (5 minutes)

Jun 30, 2025I was a little hesitant to use jalapenos, but they added the perfect amount of heat. Next time, I might try adding some other veggies like mushrooms or zucchini.

Jun 11, 2025Soaking the skewers is crucial! I forgot the first time and they were charcoal by the end. Learned my lesson! Great recipe though.
