Ingredients

¼ cup minced onion
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (1 inch) piece ginger, sliced thickly and crushed
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 tablespoons liquid smoke
3 tablespoons honey or molasses
1 cup tomato puree
2 pounds venison, cut into 1 inch cubes
20 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 red onion, cut into 1 inch cubes
½ pound mushrooms, halved
1 pint cherry tomatoes

Steps:

Stir together onion, mustard powder, pepper, pepper flakes, and sugar in a large bowl. Add garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, liquid smoke, honey, and tomato puree; mix thoroughly. Toss venison with marinade, cover, and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes to overnight.
Preheat a grill for medium heat.
Skewer the venison pieces, alternating with red pepper, yellow pepper, red onion, mushroom, and cherry tomatoes. Grill until the venison is no longer pink, about 15 minutes, depending on the grill. Alternatively, the kabobs may be baked in a preheated oven at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for about 10 minutes.
