Smoked Venison Tenderloin Recipe

Print Recipe

The fresh, citrus marinade in this recipe is what makes the smoked venison tenderloin turn out so good. It’s really citrus forward, which is great for venison because it’s such a rich, gamey meat. I like to let the venison marinate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Serves: 4
Prep time: 5 minutes + marinating time
Cook time: 2 hours

Ingredients:

• 1 pound venison tenderloin or backstrap
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 5 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more for serving
