Venison Loin, how to cook?
 

Someone just dropped me off a venison tender loin/back strap from a deer.
Any recepies on how to cook?
I usually sauteed garlic and onions in butter and deglaze pan with 2 cups of red wine which makes a nice sauce. I then add add some stone ground mustard, salt and pepper, Lil hot pepper flakes. I then thin slice the loin and quick sauteed in the onion mixture.
Loaf of bread to dip and that's it.

Looking for other options.
Thx.

Better yet Take the loin and insert about 3 large garlic cloves cut in thirds. your marinade is fine.3or 4 hrs. cook whole on a grill til 135 140 degrees with a stick thermometer. medium rare at most. much juicier and tender this way..

Rub olive oil on it, sprinkle fresh ground black pepper and kosher salt on it and hit your grill. Don't let it cook past medium rare.

Did a combo of both ideas. I lit the outdoor fireplace and made some quick cherry wood charcoal.
Wrapped the seasoned loin in a few slices of bacon and a few bay leaves in tin foil.
Threw it on the top shelf for about 3 hours of indirect cooking.
Opened it up and then browned it off on the grill to crisp up bacon.
It was a nice juicy warm red center.
I think the bacon added just enough fat/grease to keep it moist.
Served with sauted brocolli and a cold dark lager.
Needless to say the loin is gone as well as the 6 micro brews.
Thx.

I'm with June1819
I marinate in a plastic bag in the am with olive oil, garlic or garlic powder, salt and pepper. When I get home grill till med rare NO More. A couple min on all sides should do it . Ps take out when you get home so it won't be ice cold in the center.
