Adapted from a pork tenderloin recipe from Teal Lake Lodge in Hayward, WI that was adapted from a venison recipe used by Thomas Jefferson at Monticello. I really tried to go all out, as I don't get to have venison tenderloin all that often! But I think it worked, as DH and I served this to friends who don't really like venison, and even they loved it! It really tasted great!
Ingredients:
2 venison tenderloins, trimmed
6 ounces prosciutto
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup madeira wine
1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 bay leaves
Directions:
1. Combine marinade ingredients. Marinate tenderloins for 24 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 400°F.
3. Remove tenderloins from marinade and pat dry.
4. Wrap tenderloins in prosciutto and place in roasting pan.
5. Roast for approximately 30 minutes or until internal temperature is 150°F (for medium rare).
6. Allow tenderloins to rest for 10 minutes before slicing on diagonal to serve.
