Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the deer tenderloin
- First of all, remove the silver skin from the meat.
- Once removed, wash the meat and pat dry with a paper towel.500 g Venison tenderloin
Marinate the tenderloin
- You can use a ready-made seasoning or season it to taste with thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. It's up to you.2-3 tbsp Game seasoning
- To make the marinade, place two tablespoons of avocado oil in a small bowl and mix with two to three tablespoons of the venison seasoning.2 tbsp avocado oil, 2-3 tbsp Game seasoning
- Stir until the mixture transforms into a paste-like consistency.
- Apply this spice paste to the meat using a brush.
- Wrap the marinated meat in cling film and let it steep in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
- One hour before you start grilling, take the meat out of the refrigerator so that it can warm up.
Step 2 - Preparation from the grill
- Preheat the grill to about 392 °F // 200 °C. Keep one burner off, so you'll get an indirect grill zone after searing the tenderloin on the sizzle zone.
Step 3 - The bacon coating
- Place the bacon strips on a cutting board in the shape of a cross pattern. Place the marinated meat on top of the crossed bacon strips and wrap it up.100 g bacon strips
- Take the wrapped fillet (or the two fillets, as in our case) to the grill. Sear them (on both sides) for about 2-3 minutes using the sizzle zone.
- After searing, the fillet is fitted with the thermometer and grilled over indirect heat with the grill cover closed.
- It remains there until it has reached the desired core temperature. The core temperature should be 140 °F // 60 °C (Then it is at a good medium cooking level).
- After the meat has reached the appropriate core temperature, wrap it in baking paper (inside) and aluminum foil (outside) - This wrapping helps to keep it warm until you serve it.
Step 4 - Slice and serve
- To serve, remove the wrapping and cut the bacon wrapped tenderloin into small slices about two fingers wide.
- Divide the filets among the serving plates and serve with Brussels sprouts and duchess potatoes.
- If desired, you can add a spoonful of cranberry sauce.1 tbsp Cranberry sauce
