Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (454 g) beef, cut into 1-inch cubes (450 grams)
- 1 cup (240 ml) raspberries, fresh or frozen (150 grams)
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil (30 milliliters)
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) maple syrup (45 milliliters)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) tamari sauce (30 milliliters)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice (15 milliliters)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground coriander (2.1 grams)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) smoked paprika (2.3 grams)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- In a blender, combine blackberries, habanero, olive oil, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika.
- Blend until smooth to create a marinade.
- Season the venison cubes with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Pour half of the marinade over the venison cubes in a bowl.
- Mix well to ensure even coating and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread marinated venison, red onion pieces, and bell pepper pieces alternately onto skewers.
- Grill the kebabs for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the venison is cooked to desired doneness.
- Brush the reserved marinade over the kebabs during the last few minutes of grilling.
- Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Note: Try using raspberries instead of blackberries for a sweeter marinade with a different flavor.
- Note: Thaw and drain frozen raspberries before blending to avoid excess moisture in the marinade.
- Note: Adjust the jalapeno pepper amount to suit your spice preference for a milder or spicier kebab.
