Venison Tenderloin Bites Recipe: Easy & Delicious!

Ingredients

• 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups Italian dry bread crumbs
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 pound venison tenderloin, cut into 1 inch cubes
• salt and pepper to taste
• 5 cups arugula
• 1 lemon, cut into quarters

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven's broiler and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. Gently warm olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan over low heat for about 5 minutes to infuse the olive oil with garlic flavor. In a mixing bowl, place the bread crumbs and pour the infused oil mixture over them. Mix in the parsley and Parmesan cheese until everything is evenly combined. Press each venison cube into the bread crumb mixture to fully coat it, then place it onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pieces don't touch.
3. Broil in the preheated oven until the bread crumbs turn golden and the venison changes from red to pink in the center, or reaches your preferred level of doneness, approximately 6 minutes. Turn the venison cubes occasionally for even cooking.
4. Divide the arugula evenly among four dinner plates, then top with the broiled venison bites. Squeeze a quarter of a lemon over each plate just before serving. Enjoy!
