Instructions
Place venison in a small heavy-duty, zip-top plastic bag.
Combine wine and next 6 ingredients; pour over venison. Seal bag, and shake until meat is well coated. Marinate in refrigerator 2 hours, turning bag occasionally.
Trim stems and roots from beets; discard stems and roots, and reserve greens. Peel beets; cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cook beets in boiling water to cover 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain.
Remove and discard stems from beet greens. Wash greens thoroughly, and pat dry with paper towels. Shred greens, and set aside.
Coat a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil with cooking spray.
Place beets on one end of foil; top beets with margarine, and sprinkle evenly with lemon-pepper seasoning. Fold end of foil over beets; bring edges together. Fold edges over to seal; pleat and crimp edges of foil to make an airtight seal.
Drain venison, reserving marinade. Thread venison onto 2 (10-inch) skewers. Coat grill rack with cooking spray; place on grill over medium-hot coals (350 to 400).
Place beet packet on rack; grill, uncovered, 10 minutes or until packets are puffed and beets are tender.
Place kabobs on rack; grill, covered, 4 to 5 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness, basting frequently with reserved marinade.
Remove beets and kabobs from grill; set aside, and keep warm.
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot.
Add beet greens; saute 6 minutes or until greens are wilted. Stir in lemon juice.
Place greens evenly on serving plates; top each with a venison kabob.
Serve with grilled beets.
