Hillbilly that sounds like something good to do with a tenderloin, I'll definitely give that a try soon.
WV whats bear taste like? Pretty much like deer?
I forgot to menton, I am also trying something new with another deer roast. I'm trying to make my own homemade corned beef/pastrami out of a venison roast. I found a recipe for the brine online, it has salt, sugar, and a bunch of different spices. It doesn't use canning salt but there are recipes that call for it. I'm brining the meat right now, its supposed to take a few days at least. I checked it tonight and it needs another day or two I think. It smells like corned beef already though. I have to see how to cook it after the curing, then I'll turn it into pastrami by coating one side with cracked pepper and coriander. Ought to be some good eatin', I'll keep you posted.
