Oven roasted sweet BBQ venison

I am a daily patron at our local Dunn Brothers Coffee. I see the other regulars and chat. Word got out on the street that I enjoy cooking. One thing led to another and I was gifted this fresh white tail tenderloin.

To me it tasted like a spiced beef tenderloin. I didn’t tell my family until they were done eating. Nobody suspected a thing and actually complimented the taste!!

The rub I used is the rub from the BBQ cauliflower posted a while ago.

Ingredients:

2.5 lb venison loin (beef, pork, turkey would also be good)

Sweet BBQ rub: This recipe makes a large amount of rub!

• 1 cup turbinado sugar

• 1/2 cup kosher salt

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

• 3 tablespoons chili powder

• 3 tablespoons smoked paprika

• 2 tablespoons granulated garlic

• 1 tablespoon onion powder

• 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Heavily coat both sides of the loin with the rub.

Wrap the rubbed loin in tin foil and place on a baking sheet.

Place in oven for approximately 40 minutes or until internal temp reaches 120 degree. (For medium-rare)

Let meat rest for at least 10 minutes. Unwrap from foil and slice meat on a biased.
