Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Meat

    Add the cubed antelope meat to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Skewers

    Soak the wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill. After soaking, thread the marinated antelope meat, bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between the meat and vegetables.

  4. 4

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with a little oil to prevent sticking.

  5. 5

    Cook the Skewers

    Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the antelope is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with additional lime wedges on the side.
