Instructions
Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Arrange bacon slices on a slotted baking pan. Bake bacon in the preheated oven until partially cooked but still flexible
6 to 8 minutes.
Brush venison tenderloins with olive oil and season with onion powder
salt
and black pepper. Place tenderloin roasts side by side and wrap them together in strips of partially cooked bacon. Place into a roasting pan.
Roast in the preheated oven until bacon is browned and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a tenderloin reads at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C)
about 1 hour.
Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and garlic; cook and stir until mushrooms are soft
8 to 10 minutes. Stir in green onion. Stir in cream and cook
stirring often
until heated through. Serve sauce with tenderloins.
Recipe Tip
Every deer will produce different sizes of tenderloin
and every butcher is different in cuts of venison. Some butchers will cut tenderloins into steaks like filet mignon; others will leave the tenderloins like small roasts (which I believe keeps the meat tender and won't dry out). For best results
use an instant-read meat thermometer and adjust cooking times accordingly.
