"This is our favorite way to fix venison tenderloin," says Sandra Robinson of Fair Grove, Missouri. "The marinade and coating eliminate the wild flavor in these tender mouthwatering steaks."—Sandra Robinson, Fair Grove, Missouri

Ingredients

2 pounds venison tenderloin
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce

1/2 to 2 teaspoons Liquid Smoke, optional
1 egg, beaten

In a shallow bowl, combine egg and buttermilk. In another bowl, combine flour and seasoned salt. Drain steaks, discarding marinade. Dip steaks in buttermilk mixture, then roll in flour mixture.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook steaks in oil for 12-14 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°, turning occasionally.

I love, love, LOVE this recipe!!My husband is a bow hunter so I am always looking for new and different ways to cook venison. I found this recipe several years ago in Taste of Home magazine and this is my absolute favorite recipe, by far!Excellent taste, very tender!I normally let the meat soak over night or even longer but that is the only thing I do different from the written recipe.Everyone that has tasted it loves it!! My FIL just gave me 2 packages of loins to turn into country fried venison :)Highly recommended - made it many, many times.Thanks SO much for this one!
