Steps:
- Whisk together the olive oil, cumin, garlic, marjoram, rosemary, oregano, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the venison strips, and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the venison strips, a half pound at a time, until the venison has browned on the outside and is no longer pink on the inside, about 8 minutes. Pile the meat onto warmed pitas to serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right venison cut: For gyros, use a tender and flavorful cut of venison, such as the backstrap, tenderloin, or sirloin.
- Marinate the venison: Marinating the venison helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as lemon juice, vinegar, or yogurt, as well as spices and herbs.
- Cook the venison slowly: Venison can be tough if it is cooked too quickly. Cook it over low heat for a longer period of time to ensure that it is cooked through and tender.
- Slice the venison thinly: When slicing the venison for gyros, slice it as thinly as possible. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly and is easy to eat.
- Use fresh and flavorful ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your gyros. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, and choose a high-quality pita bread.
Conclusion:
Venison gyros are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and preparation, you can make venison gyros that are just as good as, if not better than, the ones you get at your favorite Greek restaurant. So next time you have some venison on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
