  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.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
