As hunters know, venison is very lean. This dish is a great way to enjoy your prize without having the meat dry out. The marinade can also be used for back straps and baking until tender.
Ingredients:
Marinade
2 sticks of butter
1 Tbls Better than Bullion Beef
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 packet of onion soup mix
1/4 cup olive oil
Filets:
12 – 1 ½ “ cut venison tenderloin filets
12 slices of bacon
Directions:
• Mix marinade ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until butter is melted.
• Assemble each filet by wrapping in bacon and securing with a toothpick.
• Put filets in a container that can be sealed tightly.
• Spoon marinade mixture over the filets. Filets can marinade in refrigerator 2-24 hours.
• When ready to cook, remove filets from refrigerator about 30 minutes in advance.
• Preheat broiler to 475 degrees.
• Place filets on broiler pan, spoon about a teaspoon each of the excess hardened marinade to the top of each filet – this will keep it moist in broiling.
• Broil about 5 minutes on each side until cooked to your liking.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!
