Gift of Venison - Suggestions?

[FLBentRider]

I scored some venison tenderloin and "ham steak"

Its not a large quantity. each is a quart size bag, about 1/2 full. It's been frozen and I received it defrosted, so I need to cook it.

Smoked? Grilled? Dredged in Flour and pan fried?

I'd make Canadian Bacon out of the tenderloin...   Just dry cure it like you would a pork loin, and smoke to 145° or so.
(somebody correct me on the final IT)

If you have never had fryed Venison tenderloin, I would do that.

Melt in your mouth delicious.

Don't over cook it. It will fry up quick. Am have fryed Backstrap tonite for supper.

The tenderloin and Backstrap are different.

Backstrap is 2 1/2 to 3 " across. Tenderloin is about the size of a 50 cent piece.

Pan-fried venison - now you're talking some mighty fine eats!

I have made lots of venison on the grill. All I do is sprinkle Lawry's seasoning and garlic powder on it. When you cook it just make sure you cook ONLY until pink in the middle. You do NOT want it well done because it gets a more wild taste. If you get it pink in the middle it will taste great. Brother in laws have said they have never had venison taste that great.

Ditto, with good lemon pepper.

Dont cook over 145 F, I like 140.

Read this thread yesterday and my mouth started to water, sooooo, got a tenderloin out to thaw and this morning I put it in a marinade I threw together.    It'll be pan fried later.

What did you end up doing with your venison?

Mine ended up battered and pan fried with milk gravy.

Green beans and corn. Oven cooked french fries. And

fresh starter rolls. Killer meal.

Nothing yet. I'm leaning toward the pan-fry.

Randy,
Cold smoke the loin, then slice thin and pan fry.
make a roux from the drippings and then thin into a gravy, bake some biscuits,
slice the biscuits and add a little gravy and a slice or two of loin...............Man what an awesome smokey breakfast
with a couple of over easy eggs!!

UIS,
I think you just made FLBR pass out.  I'm pretty sure I heard a loud THUD!  Not sure that dish would fit in his diet but it sure would mine.

If its tenderloin and not backstrap (loin) then cut into sirloin tip size bites and quick fry them in butter, garlic and onions. Do not over cook them. Mmmmm good.

Larry,
