I had to make a few changes based on previous reviews and my own experience, but it was so worth it. This is the best recipe I have found for tenderloins or backstraps. I used 2 pounds of backstraps (to make enough for a family of 4-6), 16 oz. of mushrooms, 1 large onion, and then quadrupled the sauce. Yes, quadrupled (remember, I about doubled the meat). The first time I made this, I doubled the sauce, and had to make more at the last minute. It was incredible. My family and in-laws (all hunters) raved about this recipe even when we ate the leftovers. With these minor changes, this recipe is AWESOME!!!

This was easy and really good. Smells amazing while you are cooking it. Since I was cooking 8 butterfly chops, I doubled the recipe. I added extra sherry and beef broth instead of water to make more gravy as some of the other comments suggested. Gravy with onions and mushrooms was good over potatoes too.

This was delicious! Like some of the other reviewers here, my boyfriend and I are big gravy fans so I increased the sherry to 1 cup and subbed out the water for 1 cup of beef stock. Plenty of tasty gravy for pierogies on the side or a heap of mashed potatoes!

Fantastic! My husband can't eat onions so I substituted garlic and celery instead and we really enjoyed this. Mmmm!

This was so yummy! I have been eating venison all my life so it is difficult to "wow" me with a venison related recipe. I really enjoy sauce so I added additional sherry, and a bit more water. For venison lovers such as myself, do not be concerned with what seems to be a long amount of cooking time that is recommended. The meat was still tender. Thanks! We just loved it.
