Sweet Bacon-Wrapped Venison Tenderloin
The #1 rated deer recipe on RecipeZaar since 2005! It's deer season again, and you know what that means - a lot of 'Zaar chefs trying out THE venison recipe again or for the first time. Thanks for all the reviews.
Hands-down, this is the BEST deer meat recipe in America. Even those who don't like wild game meat will fight for a piece of this.
**I will warn you, that this creates almost a "candy tenderloin." You can see from the reviews how many people love it, but if you're looking for a gamey dish that brings out the purely meaty taste of your venison, this is not for you.

Definitely a must try dish, very tender, easy to make and only requires a few ingredients. I also turned the stove on broil for the last 5 minutes to get the crispy edge of the bacon. -
Perfect! I can't eat soy so I sbstituted 3/4 cup Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce instead. Also added sweet paprika, powdered garlic, 2 tsps. powdered curry, etc. to the sauce. Baked 20 min. (tenderloid pieces)--perfect, medium rare.

I join the multitudes in giving this recipe 5 stars. The marinade can be reduced by 1/2 without a problem. I marinated it overnight in a gallon ziplock bag and found that there was too much marinade to put into my slotted roaster. The trick with this recipe is two-fold. First, determine how well done you want the finished meat to be. (Med. rare is 140 degrees). Then, when the meat is 15 degrees below the that temp, turn on the broiler to crisp the bacon. Flip once. This should only take a few moment. Then take the meat out when it is app. 5-10 degrees less than the desired final temp. *Let the meat rest 10 minutes*! Letting your meat rest assures that juices, which have congregated to the4 center during roasting, have time to work their way out toward the edges. If you don't rest, you'll end up with dry meat, every time! Trust me! This recipe rocks! Peeople who don't ordinarily like game meat will rave. I wouldn't do it with beef or pork, because those meats are too mild to stand up to the marinade. Grea! Thank you!!!

This is a family favorite! Something I make AT LEAST a couple times a month. I am now on a low-sodium diet for health reasons. So I sub the Mrs. Dash Spicy Teriyaki marinade for soy sauce now. Still turns out great!
