Venison Tenderloin in the Slow Cooker

A friend who hunts gave me a whole venison tenderloin. I wanted to make something that I could bring along and reheat so I put in in the slow cooker with ingredients I had handy, and it turned out great.

Step: 1

Place mushrooms in a small heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak mushrooms until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain mushrooms, reserving soaking liquid. Finely chop mushrooms and add them back to soaking liquid. Set aside.

Step: 2

Rinse venison under cold running water. Pat thoroughly with paper towels until dry, then cut into 3/4-inch slices.

Step: 3

Melt ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear venison slices in batches making sure meat is not overcrowded in the skillet, until lightly browned on both sides, about 5 to 10 minutes per batch.

Step: 4

Transfer seared meat to a large bowl and add mushrooms, soaking liquid, tomatoes, shallots, garlic, vegetable broth powder, bay leaves, herbes de Provence, juniper berries, thyme, sage, balsamic vinegar, red wine, and herb salt. Mix well and transfer to the slow cooker.

Step: 5

Cover and cook on Low for 3 hours.

Step: 6

Combine a few tablespoons cooking liquid and cornstarch in a small bowl; stir until cornstarch is dissolved. Add cornstarch mixture to slow cooker and stir well.

Step: 7

Cook until sauce has thickened and venison is tender, about 1 more hour, stirring a couple of times. Season with salt and pepper.

Depriving yourself can lead to overeating , 2.00 AM snacking, and mindless eats and it’s for this mind that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.

Avoidance on late-night snacking and cravings , it is much important to include some fun foods (or what one may perceive as unnecessary ). Meaning , if we always order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, necessary we really will the burger and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."

Because it comes to dinner , much eat or eating too much of the bad item of food will make lead to trouble on sleeping. On the other side, a daylight food that is less than satiating not make leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night snack even closer to sleep .
