Venison Tenderloin Filet Recipe Instructions
Completely defrost the tenderloins. Open the pack and pat them dry with a kitchen paper towel.
For a better experience, we recommend removing the silver skin/sinew.
Use a sharp knife and cut closely under the silverskin, then slide towards yourself while holding and stretching the silverskin as seen in the image.
Don't worry about inconsistencies while removing the silverskin - they will be unnoticeable once cooked.
Generously coat with extra virgin quality olive oil. Make sure the frypan gets enough oil as well.
Then season with coarse sea salt and freshly ground coarse black pepper. We like to add dry thyme leaves. Although salt and pepper are sufficient for great quality venison. You can use a seasoning of your choice. Herby seasoning goes very well with venison.
Use a skillet or fry pan. Cook on low/medium and keep turning the tenderloin so it cooks evenly on all sides. Venison tenderloin is very lean and cooks very fast. Please use a thermometer as it is impossible to feel the doneness due to the tenderness of the tenderloin.
Once the internal temperature of the tenderloin has reached 54 degrees Celsius (130 degrees Fahrenheit) quickly remove from the heat and place them on a cutting board.
Cover lightly with aluminum foil and let them rest for about 10 minutes. Juices will flow out so make sure your cutting board has a juice groove. By the way, the red juice is actually myoglobin and not blood.
There are two ways of serving tenderloin. Slices and steak medallions. We prefer steak medallions. They look great and feel luxurious.
Simply slice into thick medallions and serve with vegetables especially sweet potatoes. Mini potatoes cooked with the skin also do a great job. Mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, or cauliflower are our favorites.
The other serving method is to cut thinner slices and serve similar to a beefsteak. If you are a sauce fan, say no more. Go for the blackberry sauce. Actually, any blackberry jam will do just fine.
This tenderloin is incredibly fork-tender, yes you can cut it with a fork! Enjoy top-quality venison.
