  • My only advice is not to cook them past MR, they will get dry & tough if you do.

    I would echo exactly what Tom said - 130 or so internal max. I would almost think a hot tub approach would be good for this. You could quick sear them after the internal is up and avoid burning your pepper to badly.

    Go a little easy on the black pepper as it will overpower the venison.

    Cpt'n Cook,[p]I did Steak Diane with venison many years ago - was quite good. Recipe (for beef) in any good cookbook.

    Cpt'n Cook,
    The venison came out very well. I threw it in the spa for an hour and grilled it direct to an internal of about 135, was a little afraid the wife would think it was to rare but she liked it. Turned out tender and juicy, amazingly enough she would eat it again.[p]Thanks for the help![p]Will try and ge on th new forum tomorrow,
