Ingredients 

For the Poke

  • 1 pound boneless venison (trimmed and cut into 1/4" dice)
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons mirin
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 4 scallions, (green parts thinly sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely minced

For Serving

  • Cooked rice, (I prefer short grain)

Garnish Recommendations

  • cilantro
  • cumber
  • avocado
  • jalapeno
  • sambal or sriracha chile sauce
  • lime
  • sesame seeds
  • chips (plantain, wonton crisp, tortilla)
  • chopped nuts (macadamia, peanuts, cashews)

Instructions

  • In a bowl add the raw venison along with the rest of the ingredients except the rice and garnishes. Stir well, cover and let marinate in your refrigerator for 1 to 3 hours.
  • Assemble your poke bowls. Using a slotted spoon, add the desired amount of venison heart atop the rice. Add the garnishes of your choice. Drizzle a little marinade over top of everything.

NOTES

Cut Recommendations:
  • I like to use deer heart, backstrap, or top round for this preparation. Just make sure all connective tissue and silverskin is removed.
