Tenderloin
Tenderloin of Venison is the small psoas—most tender and lean. Medallions and high heat; sauce helps. Skip long braises. Cook venison tenderloin to temperature when thickness varies, rest before carving, and add fat or sauce if lean. Roasting, grilling, stewing, and mince show the cut’s strengths. Match heat to collagen—fast sear for tender muscle, long moist heat for hard-working joints.
