Hot cast iron skillet butter salt pepper. Cut tenderloin as thick as you like salt and pepper fry in butter to no more than med rare. Venison tenderloin is too good on it's own, to do anything else to it is a sin.

Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.

My son fixed back strap for us last year. IIRC, he marinated the piece of strap in red wine vinegar and EVOO in a baggie in the fridge, while we did the evening hunt, 3-4hrs. He then sliced into 1" rounds, salt, pepper, Montreal seasoning, and bacon wrapped with toothpicks. Grilled on a hot grill til medium rare. Best that I have ever eaten. Good luck.

Back strap is good all right, but tenderloin is a more tender cut.

I can let you slide on the flour I guess.

Roll in sea salt and fresh cracked pepper, or a favorite steak rub (montreal steak seasoning, etc) a few hours to a day before cooking and grill like a pork loin in 6-8" long sections. Cook to medium rare. Slice to preferred thickness at the table. Serve with real mash potatoes and asparagus or what ever sides you want. Yum!

Back strap is good all right, but tenderloin is a more tender cut. If you let them age a bit. The last deer I killed, we ate the tenderloins the next day and I was surprised at how chewy they were. The next week we had backstrap, prepared in everybody's favorite way, and it couldn't have been better.

That's one of my favorite ways to cook venison. I add a little bit of oil in the skillet to keep the butter from burning.
