Bacon wrapped tenderloins

[Caseyd]

Nothing like fresh bacon wrapped venison tenderlions 

Got the GF to give it a try and she loved it. Even said she'd hunt next year, we'll see how that goes next fall.

DUDE!!! I just discovered this recently myself. I let the steaks marinate in olive oil and Montreal steak seasoning for a while. Then bread them lightly in some flour and wrap them in bacon. Throw them on the skillet or grill and cook them like you normally would (quickly). I tried turkey bacon once and it wasn't the same but still good. Best elk and venison steaks I've had. My wife also loved them and normally doesn't.

And there are so many things you can do to mix them up, too.  Like adding a piece of jalapeno, onion slice dipped in oil, and some cheese inside the wrapping...and then smoking them.

Sprinkle some blue cheese on em and let it melt!!!!!

I like to marinate mine overnight in the fridge in buttermilk with just a VERY small bit of rosemary and thyme.  Drain the buttermilk off and pat dry.  dust with salt and pepper to taste.  put a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillitt and heat as high as it'll go.  Seare each side of the tenderloin medalions for 1 minute on each side and remove from the pan.  let rest 10 minutes.   
 
I never cared for bacon wrapped anything.  Bacon is awesome but for me it has a habit of overpowering the taste of whatever it's on

To keep the bacon from over powering I wrap one slice around the edge. And use wet toothpicks to hold.

I might try that next time

That is the exact same thing that I do.

Like MikeWalking says...

Bacon is like meat candy.

Yummm...

I also use very thin cut bacon.
1. It keeps the bacon from not overpowering.
2. Bacon actually gets cooked as medallions should only go a minute or so like DoubleJ said. I like em RARE!
I do em on the que and put em on at high heat.

Most probably already know this but steaks should be room temp all the way thru before cooking. I pull mine out of the fridge about 3 hours before cooking.

That is some thick bacon!!. I'll bet that was good eating. I like it wrapped around scallops as well.
