Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups Italian dry bread crumbs
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 pound venison tenderloin, cut into 1 inch cubes
salt and pepper to taste
5 cups arugula
1 lemon, cut into quarters

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Warm the olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes to infuse the flavor of the garlic into the olive oil. Place the bread crumbs into a mixing bowl, and pour the oil mixture overtop. Stir the parsley, and Parmesan cheese into the bread crumb mixture until evenly blended. Press the venison cubes into the bread crumb mixture to coat, and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the venison pieces are not touching.
  • Broil in the oven until the bread crumbs are golden, and the venison has turned from red to pink in the center, or to your desired degree of doneness, about 6 minutes. Turn the cubes occasionally as they cook.
  • Divide the arugula onto 4 dinner plates, and top with the broiled venison. Squeeze a quarter of a lemon over each plate to serve.

VENISON TENDERLOINS

"Venison is not typically the best meat for grilling, but with this marinade, the steaks come out tender, juicy and delicious," writes Brenda Koehmstedt of Rugby, North Dakota. "They're so tasty, in fact, that leftovers taste great cold--right from the fridge!"

GRILLED VENISON BITES (DEER BALLS) (CAJUN)



Grilled Venison Bites (Deer Balls) (Cajun) image

When you serve these up, the joke is; you have to kill a lot of deer to get this many ;o). Of course, they aren't really deer family jewels--they are actually bite size pieces of deer back strap or tenderloin. I got this recipe from a Cajun gentleman I hunt with in Haughton LA named Claude. I "guarunteeee", even people who say they don't like venison will eat a plate full of these. I prefer to use Tony Cachere's Cajun seasoning, thin cut bacon, zesty Italian dressing, and cook them over mesquite, but any wood or charcoal will do. Enjoy!

Time 35m

Yield 20 balls, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb venison
1 lb bacon
16 ounces Italian dressing
1 -2 tablespoon Tony Chachere's Seasoning

Steps:

  • Cut venison into bite size bits.
  • Cut bacon into 3-4 inch pieces. You may even want to cut the bacon strips in half, length-wise first, depending on the width of the bacon.
  • Wrap each chunk of meat with a piece of bacon, using a tooth pick to hold in place.
  • Place wrapped venison in a plastic bag and cover with dressing. Marinate over night.
  • Place marinated deer balls on plate and sprinkle with seasoning.
  • Grill until bacon is crisp, turning often. I found the easiest way is to use a fish basket, that way you can turn them all over at once. Another way is to use a skewer. No mater what method you use, watch for flare ups, since the oil in the Italian dressing will cause quite a blaze if you don't keep an eye on it. I walked away one time to get a beer and when I came back my balls were burnt to a crisp.

Tips:

  • To ensure the venison tenderloin bites are cooked evenly, cut them into uniform-sized pieces.
  • For a more flavorful marinade, use a combination of savory and acidic ingredients such as soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and lemon juice.
  • Allow the venison to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  • When searing the venison, use a high-heat cooking method such as a grill or cast-iron skillet to create a nice crust.
  • Cook the venison to your desired doneness, but be careful not to overcook it, as it can become tough.
  • Serve the venison tenderloin bites immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Venison tenderloin bites are a delicious and versatile appetizer or main course that can be enjoyed by all. With their tender texture and rich flavor, these bites are sure to impress your guests. Experiment with different marinades and cooking methods to find your favorite way to prepare this delectable dish. Whether you are a seasoned chef or a novice cook, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. So, gather your ingredients, fire up the grill or stovetop, and get ready to indulge in the culinary delight that is venison tenderloin bites!
