My neighbor gave me 2 packages like the one below. I am looking for ideas on what to do with it. (I do not want to just cut it up and fry it.)

My wife and I went to a restaurant not long ago that had venison loin wrapped in bacon with some sort of cherry or raspberry sauce drizzled over it. I may take a crack at that.

Anything else that someone can suggest would be most appreciated. TIA.

Rub with kosher salt, cracked pepper and some Paul Prud's blackend steak magic. Sear in a pretty much dry black skillet a minute or so a side. Throw in a 500 degree oven for about 3 minutes. Remove set on a plate and tent in foil. Throw some butter and minced garlic in the skillet and sautee thin sliced mushrooms and green onions. Deglaze with red wine. Let reduce a bit. Take tenderloin and slice thin across the grain. Drizzle red wine stuff on it. Eat and call it good.

That doesnt look like a tenderloin. At all. If it is just salt and pepper and sear on high heat. you want It mid-rare. Make your favorite game sauce. Balsamic, good wine, shallots is what I like.

It is tenderloin. It is sliced and frozen. But, i can understand how it doesn't look like it in the pic.

Thanks for all of the great suggestions.

I like to keep my tenderloins whole and marinate them in a red wine, soy sauce, and minced garlic mixture. Then I put them on a hot grill and brown on all sides until the middle is med-rare. While you're doing that, put the remainder of the marinade on the stove and reduce down until it has a syrup-like texture. I then slice the tenderloin and pour the marinade over the top.

That's some of the finest eating anywhere.

Once it's been sliced like yours is, I don't have any suggestions other than frying.

Basically, anything you can do with a pan seared filet, you can do with the venison.

I like venison au poivre.

John Folse has a good recipie in his After The Hunt Cookbook. I did it a while back - very strong flavor tho, worked great as an appetizer.

Holy hell they we're good. Yea, we had them as an appetizer and had deer burgers after.

They were better though. We cook deer burgers all the time though. First for the rolls

Ended up seasoning with some pepper and Tony C's. Then wrapped in bacon. Also made a sauce with some red wine, beef stock, cherry preserves, rosemary and thyme. Opened up a good cab to go with it.

It was very, very good. I recommend it to anyone. Thanks for the suggestions.
