Ingredients
Scale
Meat & Oil
- 1 lb ground venison
- 1 Tbsp duck fat, avocado oil, deer/beef tallow or high heat tolerant cooking oil
Vegetables
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 1 red or orange bell pepper, julienned
- 2 cups grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
- 1/2 head of cabbage, sliced (about 6 heaping cups)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- About 1-inch fresh ginger, minced or grated
Seasonings & Sauces
- 1 orange, juiced
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar, optional
- 1/3–1/2 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos (depending on your taste)
- 1 tsp sesame oil, optional
Toppings
- Green onions
- Sesame seeds
- Sriracha
- Coconut aminos or soy sauce mixed with a little honey (optional)
Instructions
- Brown the venison: Heat a wok or large pan over medium-high heat and add your cooking oil or fat. Add the ground venison and cook for about 8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the cooked venison from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- Sauté onions and peppers: If needed, add a bit more oil or fat to the pan. Add the finely diced onion and julienned bell pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
- Cook cabbage and carrots: Add the sliced cabbage and grated carrots to the pan, stirring frequently. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes until the cabbage wilts and reduces in volume.
- Add garlic and ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Combine ingredients and season: Return the cooked venison to the pan. Pour in the freshly squeezed orange juice, lime juice, rice wine vinegar (if using), and soy sauce or coconut aminos. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Simmer and finish: Cook the mixture for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the cabbage to become tender and the liquids to absorb. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sesame oil (if using).
- Serve with toppings: Plate the dish and top each serving with green onions, sesame seeds, sriracha, and optionally a drizzle of coconut aminos or soy sauce mixed with honey for added flavor. Enjoy your healthy Venison Egg Roll In A Bowl!
