Ingredients
- 1 pound venison tenderloin
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, mashed
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon current jam or jelly (substitute grape) 
 
A tender, delicious and quick-cooking cut. Size may vary depending on the size of the animal.
 
Directions
  • Trim meat: remove all visible fat and most of the silver skin (translucent membrane). If
    loin has a long tapered end, curl the thin end back and toothpick it in place so it doesn't overcook.
  • Mix together wine, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic and rosemary; put into zipper-top plastic
    bag. Add loin and marinate, refrigerated, 1 - 2 hours, turning bag occasionally (longer if
    meat is from an older animal).
  • Start grill. Remove meat from marinade and pat dry. Bring to
    room temperature before grilling.
  • While grill heats, pour marinade into a small pan. Over

1

high heat, cook down to about 1/2 cup. Stir in current jam or jelly. Strain, discarding solids.
  • Grill meat over direct heat, turning to brown all sides. Allow 6 -8 minutes per inch of
    thickness. Use an instant-read thermometer (125 degrees F is medium rare) or make a small cut
    to check doneness. Don't overcook or meat will be dry and tasteless.
  • Let rest on warm platter
    a few minutes to distribute juices within the meat. Serve whole or sliced into 1" rounds with
    the current sauce.
