Ingredients

• 2 pounds venison tenderloin
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 cup red wine
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to make a marinade.
3. Rub the marinade all over the venison tenderloin, making sure to coat it evenly.
4. Place the marinated tenderloin on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. For medium-rare, cook to an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
5. Remove the tenderloin from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
6. While the tenderloin is resting, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the red wine. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly.
7. Add the butter to the skillet and stir until melted and well combined with the red wine.
8. Slice the rested tenderloin into thick slices and drizzle the red wine butter sauce over it.
9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
