Venison Tenderloin Roast

A great simple recipe from Angela at Bake It With Love. The original recipe can be found at https://bakeitwithlove.com/venison-tenderloin-roast/

You will need a basting brush, meat thermometer, and roasting pan. This recipe makes 6 servings with 3 servings per tenderloin. If you have a lot of venison on hand, you can easily scale this up if you need to.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds Venison Tenderloin    
  • 2 teaspoons Olive Oil    
  • 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder    
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder    
  • 1/4 teaspoon Paprika    
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste    

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Cook Bacon (Optional): If you are choosing to wrap the tenderloins in bacon, place 6 strips onto a baking rack that is on a baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the bacon is only partially cooked, but still flexible. Set aside.

  3. Season the Roast: Brush the 2 teaspoons of olive oil over the tenderloin. Mix seasonings together and rub over the meat.

  4. Wrap with Bacon (Optional): If you are using the bacon, wrap it around the tenderloins.

  5. Roast: Place the tenderloins into the roasting pan and roast them at 375°F (190°C) on the center oven rack until the internal temperature of the venison reads 145°F (65°C), taking about 1 hour.

  6. Rest: Move the roasted tenderloins to a serving tray and loosely cover them with foil. Let the tenderloins rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
