SOUTH DAKOTA'S OWN! VENISON, LAMB OR BEEF CHISLIC
Ervin Schimkat of Parker, South Dakota owned the only bar in town. Needing a snack food to feed his customers along with their beer, he remembered his childhood and how much he enjoyed the cheap and relatively simple chislic. Ever since, chislic has been a regular serving in Parker's few restaurants and only bar, as well as the regionally popular at Turner County Fair. Its fast and easy preparation made it the perfect bar snack for the German immigrants wanting a taste of the Old Country. Schimkat used the word chislic because of his and the dish's German heritage and family tradition of calling it that. Chislic literally means meat on a stick in the Schimkat family. Chislic may have originated as a derivative of shish kebabs, as the pronunciation of the word bears a close resemblance to other items in the same food family. True "bar food!" goes great with beer. Recipe is adapted from the South Dakota Outdoor Campus.

Tips:
- Use high-quality meat: Opt for lamb or venison that is fresh and free of any gamey odor. If using beef, choose a tender cut like tenderloin or ribeye.
- Marinate the meat: Marinating the meat helps tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Use a marinade made with oil, vinegar, herbs, and spices. Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Cook the meat over high heat: Chislic is traditionally cooked over a hot grill or campfire. The high heat helps to sear the meat and give it a slightly charred exterior while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the meat is cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer. For lamb or venison, cook to a medium-rare or medium internal temperature. For beef, cook to a medium or medium-well internal temperature.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Chislic is traditionally served with a side of grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or coleslaw. You can also serve it with a dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or barbecue sauce.
