Marinated Venison Loin Roast

Marinated Venison Loin Roast showcases lean, tender meat infused with red wine, apple cider vinegar, and woodland herbs for a balanced, robust flavor. The gentle roast keeps the interior succulent while a reduced marinade adds glossy richness and tang. Serve for a special dinner or holiday gathering when you want an elegant yet comforting centerpiece.

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the red wine, cider vinegar, onion, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary, and mix well. Pour into a large resealable bag and add the venison tenderloin. Seal tightly, pressing out as much air as possible. Refrigerate to marinate, turning two or three times, for at least 12 hours.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Remove the meat from the marinade and place it on a roasting rack set in a roasting pan.

  3. 3

    Roast in the oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until it reaches your preferred doneness. For medium rare, the internal temperature should be at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C) when checked with a meat thermometer. Let the roast rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carving.

  4. 4

    While the tenderloin roasts, heat the marinade in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by 1/3. Serve with the venison.
