Steps

  1. Marinate venison Preheat BBQ grill or hot plate to high (if using). Preheat oven to 220°C. Pat venison dry and coat with venison spice. Set aside to marinate.
  2. Cook vegetables Dice potatoes 1cm, then toss on a lined oven tray with a drizzle of olive oil. Season and roast for 15 minutes, until almost tender. Toss asparagus through potatoes. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes, until asparagus and potatoes are tender.
