Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb venison tenderloin
  • 3 cups brown sugar
  • 2 cups soy sauce (Feel free to use low sodium)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp ground mustard (Or 1 tbs prepared mustard)
  • 1/2 lb bacon (Or up to 1 lb)

Instructions
 

  • Combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, pepper, and mustard. Coat the venison in the marinade and tightly wrap or transfer to a sealable plastic bag. Refrigerate to marinade at least 1 hour, but overnight is best.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F and prepare a baking pan. Something slotted to let the drippings fall works best. That way you can baste it while it cooks.
  • Remove the venison from the marinade (but don't discard) and wrap in the bacon. Drizzle the marinade over the wrapped tenderloin.
  • Place in the center of the oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes, for a medium roast.
  • Optional but tasty: Remove the tenderloin from the oven and turn on the broiler. Once warm, return it to the oven for just long enough to crisp up the bacon and get a nice crust.
  • Let rest about 2 minutes before cutting, then enjoy!
