Description

A warm and comforting Crock-Pot venison tenderloin recipe that transforms this lean meat into a melt-in-your-mouth meal.


Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 pounds of venison tenderloin
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 medium carrots, sliced
  • 4 medium potatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups of beef or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Your favorite herbs (rosemary, thyme, etc.)


Instructions

  1. Season the venison generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the venison on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  3. Transfer the seared tenderloin to the Crock-Pot.
  4. Top the tenderloin with chopped onions and minced garlic.
  5. Layer in sliced carrots and chopped potatoes.
  6. Pour in the broth, ensuring the meat is partially submerged.
  7. Set the Crock-Pot to low and let it cook for about 6-8 hours.
  8. Once the meat is tender and easily shreds, it’s ready to serve.

Notes

Let the tenderloin rest for a few minutes before slicing for the best texture. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to three days.
