Description
A delicious recipe for Venison Tenderloin with a rich butter-herb glaze, perfect for a special occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 venison tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Pat the venison tenderloins dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tenderloins and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
- While the meat is searing, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, and balsamic vinegar. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to infuse the flavors.
- Once the tenderloins are seared, pour the butter-herb glaze over the meat in the skillet.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the tenderloins rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sliced venison drizzled with the remaining butter-herb glaze from the skillet.
Notes
- For a sweeter glaze, add a tablespoon of honey to the butter-herb mixture.
- Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
