I'm giving this four stars because the flavor was good, but it was very tough. That may not be the recipes fault.

This marinade is to die for. I use it every year. I package it with the meat prior to food sealing it for the freezer. When your ready, take out the meat and it soaks in the marinade while defrosting. Amazing!! Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I have!

Absolutely fabulous!! I didn't have time to marinade it very long, so I can only imagine that it could have been even better. Even my 2&4-yr-olds asked for 2nd and 3rds. I used it on back strap. I didn't need 6 pounds of meat for just us, so I decreased the water to less than one cup and just added chicken bullion to that instead of the water and chicken stock. I also didn't have fresh parsley, basil & rosemary, so I used dried. I will definitely use this recipe again!

Thanksgiving would not have been the same without this recipe for venison. We took the deer 4 days prior to Thanksgiving with the idea of having a traditional American Thanksgiving of Venison and Turkey. My kids had never eaten venison and the thought of eating "Bambi" didn't sit well at first. But once they tried the venison prepared by marinating from this recipe, they loved it. In fact they asked for it the next day for lunch. The only difference was that instead of marinating for 4 hours, I marinated for a full 24 hours. I really think that may have made a big difference. 21 guests at Thanksgiving dinner swore it was the best venison they ever had. In fact, in many cases, they said it was the only time they ever enjoyed venison. Thanks for the idea.

I really loved this recipe. I did use it with venison...but, I think it would be good with any wild game. I think I will use it on moose steaks next time! Thanks!

Great Recipe. Has anyone tried in a slow cooker or as a canning marinade?

wonderful recipe. i've never cooked vension tenderloin before, and this was easy. deer tends to dry out easily, and become tough, but the marinade kept it tender! i cooked these on the stove, instead of the grill. i cooked the tenderloins in the remaining marinade, ending up with a nice sauce. came out perfect!

In addition to my previous rating, I would also recommend making a double batch of this if you actually use 6 lbs of venison, and then reserving 1/2 cup of marinade for pouring over the steaks when they're done to further the affects of the seasonings.
