For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dollop of tzatziki sauce or a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese to your venison gyros. If you don't have fresh pita bread on hand, you can substitute naan bread or even tortillas. Marinating the venison overnight will result in a more tender and flavorful dish. Don't skip this step if you have the time! Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the venison, as this will steam the meat instead of browning it. Work in batches for best results.
