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

SWEET BACON-WRAPPED VENISON TENDERLOIN



Sweet Bacon-Wrapped Venison Tenderloin image

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.

Categories     Deer

Time 1h20m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

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.
  • Put Deer Loin in a cooking tray and pour Brown Sugar/Soy Sauce mixture over loin. Roll tenderloin over in mixture, completely covering it.
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • Wrap a piece of bacon around the very end of the tenderloin, securing the bacon strip with a toothpick.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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!
  • 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).
  • Remove from oven and place on cutting board. Using a knife, cut the loin between each strip of bacon so that you have many pieces of meat, each with their own toothpick.
  • You can eat these pieces directly from the toothpick or remove the toothpick and eat like steak. You can thank me later.
  • The next day, try the leftovers on a wheat bun with spicy BBQ Saucefor an awesome leftover sandwich.

This tender, flavorful roast cuts the deer's gamy taste and leaves behind a mouthwatering morsel with a crunchy bacon crust.

Provided by Wide Open Eats Test Kitchen

Categories     Dinner

Time 8h55m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lb venison tenderloin
3 cups brown sugar
2 cups soy sauce ((Feel free to use low sodium))
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ground mustard ((Or 1 tbs prepared mustard))
1/2 lb bacon ((Or up to 1 lb))

Steps:

  • Combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, pepper, and mustard. Coat the venison in the marinade and tightly wrap or transfer to a sealable plastic bag. Refrigerate to marinade at least 1 hour, but overnight is best.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F and prepare a baking pan. Something slotted to let the drippings fall works best. That way you can baste it while it cooks.
  • Remove the venison from the marinade (but don't discard) and wrap in the bacon. Drizzle the marinade over the wrapped tenderloin.
  • Place in the center of the oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes, for a medium roast.
  • Optional but tasty: Remove the tenderloin from the oven and turn on the broiler. Once warm, return it to the oven for just long enough to crisp up the bacon and get a nice crust.
  • Let rest about 2 minutes before cutting, then enjoy!

Tips for Sweet Bacon-Wrapped Venison Tenderloin:

  • Choose high-quality venison tenderloin: Look for tenderloins that are a deep red color and have a firm texture. Avoid any tenderloins that are brown or have any signs of spoilage.
  • Use thick-cut bacon: Thick-cut bacon will provide a better flavor and texture to the dish. If you can, use uncured bacon for the best results.
  • Don't overcook the venison: Venison is a lean meat, so it is important not to overcook it. Overcooked venison will be tough and dry. Cook the tenderloins for just a few minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
  • Let the venison rest before slicing: After cooking, let the venison rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Sweet Bacon-Wrapped Venison Tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The sweet and savory flavors of the bacon and brown sugar complement the venison perfectly, and the tenderloin is cooked to perfection. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook venison, this recipe is definitely worth trying.
