Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons dried marjoram
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 ½ tablespoons ground cumin

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk together the olive oil, cumin, garlic, marjoram, rosemary, oregano, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the venison strips, and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the venison strips, a half pound at a time, until the venison has browned on the outside and is no longer pink on the inside, about 8 minutes. Pile the meat onto warmed pitas to serve.
