Crispy Venison Tenderloin Bites
Crispy Venison Tenderloin Bites feature garlicky, breadcrumb-coated cubes of lean venison broiled to a golden crunch, then layered over peppery arugula. A final squeeze of lemon brightens the rich meat and nutty Parmesan, balancing each bite with freshness. Serve as an elegant appetizer or a light dinner alongside a simple salad or roasted vegetables.

Gently heat the olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes to infuse the olive oil with garlic flavor. Put the bread crumbs in a mixing bowl and pour the oil mixture over them. Stir in the parsley and Parmesan cheese until evenly combined with the bread crumbs. Press the venison cubes into the bread crumb mixture to coat, then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the venison pieces are not touching.

Broil until the bread crumbs are golden and the venison changes from red to pink in the center, or to your preferred doneness, about 6 minutes, turning the cubes occasionally as they cook.
