INGREDIENTS
6 oz Venison Tenderloin
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tsp Fresh Rosemary
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
Zest of 1/2 Lemon
Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Pat the venison tenderloin dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, chopped fresh thyme, and lemon zest.
Coat the tenderloin evenly with the herb mixture, pressing the herbs onto the meat to form a crust.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tenderloin and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
Reduce the heat slightly if needed and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare, about 6-8 minutes total depending on thickness.
Remove the venison from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, enjoying the aromatic herb crust and tender, flavorful meat.
