Best way to cook venison tenderloin

I marinate mine for 24 hrs then wrap in bacon and grill.

Marinate for 24-48 hours. Cut into small pieces and throw them into the jerky maker.

Pull it from the fridge an hour before cooking. Rub with evoo, then season with salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Cook fast over direct, hot coals...0ne to two minutes per side to a rare/medium rare . Rest it a few minutes before slicing.

Yep. Gave away or ate all of the Christmas batch. It was very good.

1. Cut into 1" medallions and pair two together/wrap in thick cut bacon
2. Coat in olive oil
3. Rub with Kosher salt and cracked pepper
4. Grill over HIGH heat 1-2 min then flip twice to get the "grid" type grill marks
5. Finish in oven for 6-8 minutes on 300 degrees with a pat of butter on each wrap
6. Let rest
7. Profit

This here. This is the end result of such method. Best I've found for strap.

Are we talking about tenderloin or backstrap here?

The evoo, s&p routine is always good and simple. Once you've had that a bunch and are looking for something a little more complex, give this recipe a try:
Venison Steak Diane

That recipe should work well with backstrap or the real tenderloin.

Besides grilling, I like to cut them into about 1" peices then pound them flat. Soak in a bowl of seasoned milk for a few hours then wet batter and fry em. just like a chicken fried steak.
That's actually what is for supper tonight

Most people get it wrong calling backstrap tenderloin. I just quit correcting them.

I usually just fry the tenderloin. Can't screw that up.
