Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 ½ tablespoons ground cumin

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

  • 2 teaspoons dried marjoram

  • 2 teaspoons ground dried rosemary

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 3 pounds venison, cut into 1/4-thick strips

  • 6 pita breads, cut in half and warmed

Directions

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

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches of 1/2 pound at a time, add venison and cook until browned on the outside and no longer pink on the inside, about 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

  3. Pile onto warmed pitas to serve.
