Marinated & Grilled Venison Tenderloin is full of flavor with a homemade marinade that has a little bite of garlic and sweet of brown sugar in the soy and worcestershire sauce. This “manly recipe” in celebration of Father’s Day was made to honor my dad in every way!
I felt with it being Father’s Day, I really needed to make a “manly” recipe. None of that frilly pasta stuff and none of those skillet meals. I decided that what I needed to do was grill. If you know me, I’m not big on grilling much myself unless it’s something like shrimp. I’ve had a few grilling ventures however that turned out amazing so I knew I could do it. My only problem was I had to tell Grumpy that I was doing the cooking of the Venison. Grumpy likes me to leave the venison cooking to him. Probably the only thing he expects to cook!
Surprisingly, he had no qualms about letting me be the griller for this meal. I was actually quite surprised. The meal turned out awesome! I grilled a tenderloin from a buck that Grumpy got on one of his hunting excursions last year and it was super duper tender! I also grilled some Baby Bok Choy that I received from Frieda’s Produce. I’ll share the recipe for the venison in this post and the one for the Baby Bok Choy in the very near future.

Notes
If venison tenderloin is not readily available to you, this marinade would also work really well on chicken, beef, or pork. Give it a try!

Can you marinade longer than 1-2 hrs?
Hi Jennifer, yes, you can marinade overnight if you wish. It is recommended you at least marinade it for 1 hour.
