Venison Tenderloin Roast

🧂 Ingredients

• 6 slices bacon

  (optional, thick-cut bacon is recommended)
• 2 teaspoon olive oil

  (extra virgin)
• 1 ½ lbs venison tenderloin

  (2 tenderloin roast portions)
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon paprika
• ¼ teaspoon salt & pepper

  (to taste)

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 400℉ (205℃/Gas Mark 6).
• 2 (Optional) If you are wrapping your roast with bacon, place 6 slices bacon on a
  wire cooling or baking rack that is on a baking sheet. Once the oven has
  preheated, bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the bacon is just partially cooked but
  still flexible. Remove from your oven and set aside.
• 3 Brush the 2 teaspoon olive oil over the 1 ½ lbs venison tenderloin and season
  them with ¼ teaspoon onion powder, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon paprika,
  ¼ teaspoon salt & pepper.
• 4 If using the optional bacon, wrap it around the tenderloins, then place the
  tenderloins into the roasting pan.
• 5 Roast at 400℉ (205℃/Gas Mark 6) in the center of your oven's middle rack until
  the internal temperature of the venison reads 125°F (65°C), about 15-20 minutes.
• 6 Transfer the roasted tenderloins to a serving tray or cutting board and cover
  them loosely with foil. Rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
