Marinated Grilled Deer Tenderloin


Wow! This is the best deer tenderloin I have ever made, and the preparation is simple.  I will add that this is the first tenderloin I have ever marinated, and I must say the marinade did its job and took a great deal of the "gamey" flavor out of the deer.  So, if you enjoy a strong wild flavor do not marinate the loin.  By the way, my wife even enjoyed the little piece she tried!

Ingredients:
1/2 bottle of Steak and Chop Marinade (any brand)
1 medium to small Deer tenderloin

Directions:
Start by defrosting the meat.  Once the meat is defrosted, place it into a zip lock bag and add your favorite marinade.  Let the meat sit 24 hours in the fridge.  When ready to cook, heat your grill to about 400 degrees and add the meat.  Let the meat cook for 10-15 minutes on both sides.  When cooking, do not open the grill lid or flip too often.  Once the meat is removed from the grill allow it to sit for about 10 minutes so the juice soaks into the meat.  Then cut and serve with your favorite potatoes and veggies. 

And, for those who enjoy wine, a nice red wine would go great with this meal.
