Deer Tenderloin
Don't know where this recipe came from originally. I got it from my father-in-law who got it from a friend who got it from a friend.
Put it together again tonight, so I thought I'd share.
Combine 1 bottle of soy sauce(I use low sodium),1 Tbsp olive oil, 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped, 1/4 cup Worchestershire sauce, and 1 tsp. seasoning salt. Heat to blend.
Cut tenderloin in 1" thick filets and wrap with bacon securing with toothpick. Marinate 8-10 hours. Cook over hot charcoal 5 minutes a side.

Re: Deer Tenderloin
Well, that's nice.,,
Now every real Texan knows there is only one way to cook deer tenderloin. Usually at deer camp so the women don't try to add any green stuff to it.
Chicken Fried with cold beer.

Love some chicken fried deer, too!
Got a recipe you like? I got a fryer for Christmas and haven't ever fried it myself.

Venison tastes good because you work so hard to earn it!
I humped a 3 lb venison rump roast several miles up a mountain on my last backpacking trip so we could enjoy it slow roasted on a fire. Very tasty!

I only had to work for 1 of the 2 deer in my freezer this year. Have a buddy that really likes to hunt, and is willing to share the fruits of his labor. He shot both, but my dog and I helped locate one.

Re: Deer Tenderloin
You still worked for it!!! (Some)
Hunting makes me appreciate how easy it is to go to the store, plop down a few dollars, and get quality meat.

"Vegetarian" is an old Indian word for bad hunter.

Yeah I don't mean to derail OP's topic, but really - food technology is so amazing here - we just don't worry about food. In fact we come up with ways to get people to spend more money on it for various reasons!

I'm always amazed by how plenty of food is in the supermarket stalls. Even down to the charcoal that I bought at the store to cook this with.
I don't know how there is more than enough for everybody.
Like you, hunting and gardening really puts it in perspective.

Haha. A fryer for Christmas? Score!Michael Wise wrote:

I'm going to be honest. Since my days in the restaurant biz I've learned the best recipes to me are the simple ones. Maybe I'm lazy or maybe I just don't have a refined pallet but anything with more than 5-6 ingredients past the main players is overkill.
Anyway, the lazy/unrefined cook's chicken fried recipes goes like this:
You will have two bowls. One with the wet ingredients and one with the dry.
Wet will consist of buttermilk OR whole milk with two eggs whisked in.
Dry side will be AP flour, black pepper, and Lowerys season all.
Meat should be prepared ahead of time to desired size with a thickness around 1/4 inch.
Allow meat to soak in wet mixture 30min-1 hour if time allows. Then place in dry mix and press into meat. If you like it extra crispy go back to wet and then dry again.
Deep fry if you received a deep fryer for Christmas (MW) or my favorite, pan fry in shallow oil in cast iron skillet.
If doing the latter take the opportunity to make some white gravy out of those drippings!
Now drink cold beer and take a nap in the recliner. You earned it.

Re: Deer Tenderloin
I think the main thing with venison is to cover up any gamey taste that may be there. Enter garlic and vinegar. But I'm not a chef.
Young does are the tastiest. The big, old, tough bucks with all the antlers everyone wants hanging on their walls are the worst tasting.

Never been a good antler hunter. Not because I didn't want to kill a nice buck, just he never walked out first.

Re: Deer Tenderloin
I always found that deer quickly dressed and quartered never has a gamey taste to it. The OP recipe reminds me of one of the dishes they have back home at the "hunters breakfast" after the season. Marinated venison steak usually from the back straps.
