Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 thick slices bacon
2 (3/4 pound) venison tenderloin roasts
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
¼ teaspoon onion powder, divided
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1 (8 ounce) package sliced cremini mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped green onion, or more to taste
½ cup heavy whipping cream, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Place bacon on a slotted baking pan.
  • Bake bacon in the preheated oven until partially cooked but still flexible, 6 to 8 minutes.

  • Roast until bacon is browned and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a tenderloin reads at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 hour.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ cups brown sugar
1 cup soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 (2 pound) venison tenderloin
½ pound hickory-smoked bacon
toothpicks
¼ (5 pound) white sugar

Steps:

  • Mix brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and Worcestershire together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved. Place tenderloin into a container with a lid or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over. Cover and marinate for at least 8 hours, to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Remove tenderloin and discard marinade. Wrap a slice of bacon around the tenderloin, starting at one end, and secure it with a toothpick. Continue wrapping bacon around the loin until it is covered and secured with toothpicks. Place on a broiler pan on the center rack of the oven.

  • Broil in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes, turning once and watching closely so it doesn't burn. Remove from the oven and place on a cutting board. Let stand for 10 minutes. Slice with a knife between each strip of bacon so there are several pieces.

BACON-WRAPPED VENISON TENDERLOIN RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Bacon-Wrapped Venison Tenderloin Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Chef_Frytz

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs venison tenderloins (a single deer loin or Moose or Elk or Pork or Beef)
1/2 lb bacon (Plain, thin-sliced Bacon is best)
3 cups dark brown sugar
2 cups soy sauce (Regular NOT low-sodium. You'll want the saltiness)
1/4 cup white sugar (Optional for added Sweetness)

Steps:

  • Mix brown Sugar and Soy sauce together in a bowl. They should combine nicely into a soupy soy liquid. 2 Put Deer Loin in a cooking tray and pour Brown Sugar/Soy Sauce mixture over loin. Roll tenderloin over in mixture, completely covering it. 3 Let meat marinate in mixture at least 3 hours or overnight in fridge. It's best to marinate for 8 hours if you have the time. Also GREAT to use a Food Saver or other Vacuum device to Vacuum pack/seal the meat with Marinade. With this method, you can achieve Overnight-level marinade in just a couple hours! 4 Remove loin from tray, and place on a slotted bake sheet with a drip pan or aluminum foil below to catch dripping. Don't throw away marinade. 5 Wrap a piece of bacon around the very end of the tenderloin, securing the bacon strip with a toothpick. 6 Repeat this process until the entire loin is wrapped in ten or so bacon "loops." The tenderloin should look like an arm with a bunch of wrist watches on it, the watches being the bacon strips. 7 Drizzle remaining marinade over deer loin. You can continue to baste the loin with the marinade throughout the cooking process with either a brush or a turkey baster. 8 Place on center rack in oven and bake at 350°F for 30-40* minutes. *This should cook the meat to about Medium. For those of you who prefer rare meat (like me), cut the time to 25-30 minutes and then follow with the "OPTION 2" step below regarding searing. 9 OPTION 1 - with about 10 minutes of cooking time left, you can lightly dust the top of the loin with white sugar. This creates a sweet crust on top of the bacon. Might be too sweet for some. Try doing it on just HALF of the loin to see if you like it! 10 OPTION 2 - For a crispier crust and crispier bacon, remove Loin from oven and place the Loin(s) directly on a Grill over medium-high heat to sear the bacon and outer loin. (Thanks to all of you reviewers who taught me this. It's a great step for those of us who like a cooked crust and a pink center).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality venison tenderloin. This will ensure that your dish is tender and flavorful.
  • Trim the venison tenderloin of any silver skin or fat. This will help the bacon adhere to the meat and prevent it from becoming chewy.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the venison tenderloin into 1-inch thick medallions. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Wrap each venison medallion with a slice of bacon. Overlap the bacon slightly to ensure that it stays in place.
  • Season the venison medallions with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the venison medallions and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bacon is cooked and the venison is browned.
  • Transfer the venison medallions to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Sweet bacon-wrapped venison tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The venison is tender and flavorful, and the bacon adds a sweet and smoky flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
