I like to try and come up with new venison recipes......stuff other than what you normally find in cookbooks. The one I made last night was great and I thought you guys might like it.
Took the tenderloin of a deer shot last sunday and sliced it laterally to make medallions about 3/4" thick.
Sauce:
3/4 bottle of Famous Daves BBQ sauce (Sweet & Zesty variety)
3 shots of Black Velvet whiskey
two tablespoons of worchestershire sauce
a couple of shakes of garlic type steak seasoning
Mix all 4 ingrdients in small pan and lay medallions in sauce to soak for a couple of hours. Sauce will be pretty tingly to the tongue at this point.....don't worry! It will mellow and sweeten significantly with cooking.
Next, take a large sweet onion and two red bell peppers and chop them into slices ~1/2" wide and ~3" long. Crush four or five cloves of garlic.
Fry the onions, peppers, and garlic very hot in a small amount of light oil of your choice until the onions begin to carmelize and the peppers soften. Take off heat.
Make a packet out of alluminum foil and put a bed of onion/pepper/garlic mix in the bottom. Next place four venison medallions on top and ladel a couple of spoonfuls of sauce overtop. Place two teaspoons of honey butter on top of the sauce and seal packet to prevent leaks.
Make as many packets as needed to use all medallions. Bake in pyrex cake dish (like the ones you use to make brownies) at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Fantastic!
