Grilled Venison
Tenderloin:
Ingredients:
2 Lbs. Venison tenderloin, cut 1/2 inch filets
1/4 C. Red wine vinegar
1/4 C. Rose wine
1/4 C. Water
1 Yellow onion, chopped
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1/2 t. Dry mustard
2 Bay leaves
1/4 t. Kosher salt
6 Black peppercorns
Procedure:
For the marinade, mix all wet and dry ingredients until blended. Add
the onions and stir
Place the filets into a shallow non reactive dish. Pour the marinade
onto the filets, cover and refrigerate for 72 hours, turn the meat over
once a day
Remove the filets from the dish and place on paper towels to dry off
the marinade before you light the grill. Reserve the remaining marinade
for a basting sauce
Place charcoal in a pyramid shape and light with either lighter fluid,
electric starter or chimney starter. Wait until coals are gray and spread
in a single layer for the direct heat method
Spray grid with non-stick spray and let grid heat over the hot coals
(the hotter the grid, the less chance the food will stick)
Place filets on the grid. Grill for 6 to 7 minutes, baste with the
marinade and turn, grill 5 to 6 more minutes, baste again with the
marinade until it is cooked to medium rare
Notes:
Serve with rice, or potatoes and vegetables
Ask your butcher or game processor to remove the fat to reduce the
gamy taste. Also ask to have the silver skin or white muscle fiber removed
The filets cook very quickly, the cooking time should be less than 13
minutes depending on if you like them rare or medium rare
