Glazed Bacon Wrapped Venison Tenderloin

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Trim off any silver skin on the outside of the loin. This is a lean cut of meat; therefore, there will not be much fat, but the silver skin can be tough.Begin by seasoning the tenderloin well with the salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder.

Step 2

Wrap the bacon around the loin. Place the loin on top of the pieces of bacon that are touching pull up wrapping them over the tenderloin overlapping them on top of each other. Secure the bacon with toothpicks or flip the roast, seam side down, to make sure the bacon does not shrink when baked or fall off.

Step 3

If baking in the oven, place a wire rack in a baking pan that has been lined with foil for easy clean up.

Step 4

Brush on the Red Pepper Jelly Glaze. Continue to brush on the glaze every 10 minutes.

Step 5

Place in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. See the chart below

Step 6

When the meat reaches your desired level of doneness, remove from the oven, tent with foil and let rest 10 minutes. The foil helps hold the heat in while the act of resting helps the juices to stay in the meat rather than run out when cut.

Step 7

Enjoy with your favorite side dish.
