Venison Teriyaki

BeachGirl's Note:

Absolutely delicious, much like those served in Chinesee restaurants. No one will know this is venison. They can also be made with cubed beef. My children devour these! Prep time includes 3-1/2 hours marinating time.

This was very good. It had so much flavor I didn`t put the glaze on. I think I will try this one on chicken.This is in my cookbook.

Okay, first let me say that basically I don't like venison. We are from the South, thus we call it "deer meat". My husband was given some by a co-worker, so I knew I had to do something with it. THIS WAS GREAT!! I omitted the sherry, we ate all of it at one sitting, even the picky seven year old loved it. I am definitely going to try this with beef also but the deer meat was wonderful.
