Deer tenderloin!

All I got was a shot before they came off the grill but hey it's a picture so it happened. I cooked 2 half tenderloins last night one with Game On and the other with Red Eye Express. 400 direct for about 40 minutes with a small hickory and apple chunk. Then pulled to the other side to stay warm with the vents still cracked since the guests were late. Had a nice amount of red/ pink in the middle and full of juice and flavor. They didn't really have the gamey taste that my wife hates. I think the smoke really cut it.

Thanks guys. Not too hard to get here I usually hunt for trophies like this guy below from last thanksgiving until December 15th and then it's meat from then on until I get about 3 maybe 4 which isn't hard if I can get 350 yards or closer.Dyersburg, TN

Did I read that right? 400 direct for 40 minutes?

Yes give or take a few. It was tender enough to eat with a fork. It was probably right around medium the small one a little more but not over done.Dyersburg, TN

I have always had problems with venison on the egg because there is virtually no fat. The long and slow just produces dry and not very tender meat. The tender loin aside, what other meats should I compare venison to? More like beef? Clearly not like pork. There's not enough fat to cook it like a brisket.LBGE, Lawrenceville, GA

This was almost like a beef tenderloin when sliced.
