Title: Bacon wrapped tenderloins
Post by: Caseyd on October 20, 2009, 08:20:36 PM: Nothing like fresh bacon wrapped venison tenderlions :drool:

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.

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.

Post by: DoubleJ on May 19, 2011, 09:05:04 AM: 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. :drool:

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

Bacon is like meat candy.

Yummm...
Title: Re: Bacon wrapped tenderloins
Post by: wildmanoutdoors on May 19, 2011, 10:18:18 AM: 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.

Post by: Pathfinder101 on May 24, 2011, 06:56:11 AM: We did this the last two years when I was in Montana. Buck down = tenderloins wrapped in bacon as soon as we get the buck nack to camp.
We each eat a whole wrapped loin. Talk about stuffed...

Sorry, no pics of that. Too tired to think about the camera. Now that I think about it, a picture of two dirty, smelly dudes with bacon and steak juice dribbling down their chins in a wall tent may not be most people's idea of high class photography... :chuckle:

Post by: elksnout on December 28, 2011, 08:29:35 PM: Made these last night. I got some thick maple bacon from the butcher and soaked the steaks in a mixture of Yoshidas and olive oil. Nice.
Title: Re: Bacon wrapped tenderloins
Post by: quadrafire on December 28, 2011, 08:34:56 PM: I was curious if anyone has used home-brewed buckboard bacon to wrap any loins? I make it all the time, but it is so lean compared to store bacon, I haven't used it to wrap anything.
Title: Re: Bacon wrapped tenderloins
Post by: elksnout on December 28, 2011, 08:46:26 PM: Should be fine. The bacon I purchased was pretty stout. That's why I went to a butcher instead of store bought. So as not to over power the meat I cut the bacon in half length ways so I ended up wrapping the meat with thinner cuts of bacon. One strip to each steak. I'd do it again. It was even better tonight as leftovers.

Post by: lokidog on December 28, 2011, 11:19:41 PM: Here's a tip on the bacon wrapping. Place the bacon in paper towels and microwave for a while to remove a fair amount of the fat. This will help keep the grill from flaming up as much as the bacon cooks, plus you don't need to overcook the steak to cook the bacon through.

YUM!

Post by: JJB11B on December 28, 2011, 11:23:23 PM: YUUUUUUMMM!, Try Indirect heat, build a foil drip tray directly under the meat below the rack. This will also help it cook evenly

Post by: blindpig on December 29, 2011, 07:01:18 PM: Dang, that looked great. Tenderloins have to be the best meat ever.

Post by: johnnyaustin44 on December 29, 2011, 08:20:27 PM: I do the same with my duck meat. marinated in Italian dressing..and I put cream cures and jalepeno halfs in there as well.
