Step

  • 1

    In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, ginger, garlic, onion powder and pepper.

  • 2

    With a sharp knife, slice the venison into 1/4 inch thick slices. Trim any fat or connective tissue.

  • 3

    Put the meat slices in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade mixture over the venison and massage the bag so that all the slices get coated with the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for several hours, or overnight.

  • 4

    When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 180℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. For optimal flavor, use Super Smoke if available. Remove the venison from the marinade; discard marinade. Dry the meat slices between paper towels.
