Why Choose Venison Short Loin?
The Venison Short Loin is derived from the saddle with a buttery-soft texture and mellow, herbaceous flavor that offers a delicious alternative to more traditional red meats. It's perfect for creating exciting taste experiences and getting creative in the kitchen. With each boneless Short Loin weighing between 1.3 - 1.7 lbs, it’s ideal for sharing, feeding 4–5 people with melt-in-your-mouth results.
How to Prepare Venison Short Loin
This cut shines with minimal prep. It’s already incredibly tender, so it doesn’t need much fuss.
• Bloom the meat - Remove from packaging, and let the Short Loin rest outside the fridge for 20–30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. This ensures even cooking.
• Pat dry - Use a paper towel to remove any surface moisture. This helps you achieve a great sear and develop a flavorful crust.
• Seasoning recommendations - A touch of olive oil, flaky salt, and freshly cracked pepper is all you need to allow the meat's natural flavors to shine. Or, for a little extra flavor, rub with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary and a little crushed garlic.
• Optional marinade - For a more unique and intense flavor, marinate for 2-4 hours in olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and lemon juice.
How to Cook your Venison Short Loin:
Venison is naturally lean, which means it cooks quickly and can become dry if overdone. For a tender, juicy result, we recommend you serve your venison rare (120–130°F) to medium-rare (130–140°F). Use a thermometer for the best result.
• Pan-seared method - Heat a cast-iron or heavy pan until smoking hot. Sear the loin for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized. Add a knob of butter and fresh thyme, then baste for another minute.
• Grill/BBQ method - Sear over high direct heat for 1–2 minutes per side, then move to indirect heat for 5 minutes or until desired doneness.
• Rest the meat - Remove from heat, tent loosely with foil and rest for 5 minutes to lock in juices. Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.
• Alternative method - If you don't want to cook it all at once, or cook it whole, you can slice it into individual medallions for quick grilling or searing.
Serving suggestions:
This cut is perfectly paired with creamy mashed potatoes, a seasonal salad, or grilled asparagus. For sauce ideas: you could pair the Venison Short Loin with a rich jus, horseradish cream, or a mustard pan sauce. It’s also great featured in a salad with arugula, walnuts, and goat cheese for a lighter option.
