Venison Steak Gyros

Foodie Friday: Venison Steak Gyros

It’s a mistake to think that venison is only for celebration meals, special occasions or snacking. If you’re going to shoot deer, you’d better create additional options with your bounty of venison, and venison steak gyros are often overlooked.

HOW TO MAKE VENISON NECK ROAST INTO AWESOME SANDWICHES

Thin-slice venison steak and sear it up quick-and-hot. Add diced tomatoes and grilled onions to half a pita shell and fill the rest with cooked meat.

But, the key to a great gyro is tzatziki sauce.

Here’s how to make it: Combine Greek yogurt, sour cream, diced cucumber and garlic in a food processor and puree until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and fold in olive oil, dill, lemon juice and lemon zest. Stir until combined and season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle on your gyro. Enjoy!
