I baked my first venison tenderloin the other day and it came out perfect! Of course anything wrapped in bacon is hard to resist! Venison, like any wild game, needs to be marinated at least overnight. The marinate helps tenderize the meat and takes out the gaminess. Capt. M, our 7 year old son, absolutely loved this meal! I had to cut him off before he ate the whole tenderloin himself!
The bacon helped keep the meat juicing since their is very little fat in venison. It also added a little flavor.
