Souvlaki is an effective way to eat bear meat, or deer, or elk, or sheep, and so on. It’s easy to arrange and simple to cook dinner. We simply made these on the lake tonight with chunks of elk rump and white tailed deer rump, so I assumed I’d share them with you. My brother lived in Greece for a time, and he says Souvlaki Gyros (bear meat, or any meat) are like a Greek avenue taco.
It’s a good selection for bear meat as a result of the small chunks cook dinner completely, and you may make sure you’ve killed any parasites that is likely to be (seemingly are) within the meat.
The key ingredient is tzatziki sauce. You may make your individual with cucumbers, Greek yogurt, and plenty of dill — nevertheless it’s on the market within the dairy case at your grocery retailer, too, and it’s scrumptious. I purchased an enormous tub for $6 at Sam’s Membership, and it was the correct quantity for six adults and 6 youngsters.
Marinating the meat is sweet, although not important, and you need to use your favourite marinade. You would additionally attempt these kabobs and add the Greek components for gyros. Let’s get to it.
Components
1 pound of bear meat, lower into bite-sized chunks, extra meat for extra individuals 1 onion per pound of meat, lower into giant chunks (16ths) Pita bread — my household ate two every 2-4 tomatoes, diced Tzatziki dip/sauce Feta cheese — not customary Greek type, nevertheless it’s a tasty addition 4 Tablespoons olive oil Griddle, skillet, or grill
Steps
Preheat the griddle or grill. For those who’re utilizing bear meat, take care that the griddle isn’t too sizzling otherwise you’ll dry out the meat. The best warmth for pancakes, minus a smidge, is nice. You would go hotter for non-parasite meats, and go for an excellent sear with medium uncommon within the center.
Load the chunks of onion and meat onto skewer sticks, alternating meat and onion. You would do that with out skewers in a skillet, however the sticks preserve the meat and onions oriented, so solely the sides get seared. For those who’re utilizing a grill, soak the skewers in water for some time beforehand so that they don’t burn over the flame.
Cook dinner the skewers till the meat is as accomplished as you’d like. Take away the meat and onions from the skewers and put aside.
Brush or dredge the pitas in olive oil and warmth them on the grill for just a few moments on both sides. The recent, frivolously toasted pitas make all of the distinction.
Seize a pita, smear on a hearty dose of tzatziki sauce, add the meat and onions, add some tomatoes, fold it like a taco, and luxuriate in. When you’ve got sufficient serving to palms, you possibly can lower the meat chunks smaller so that they match within the pita simpler, however my household didn’t have the endurance for that. Hold napkins useful.
