Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs venison loin
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Мethod of preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. 2. In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well until it forms a thick glaze. 3. Pat the venison loin dry with paper towels and place it on the prepared baking sheet. 4. Using a pastry brush or your hands, coat the venison evenly with the prepared glaze, ensuring it is well-covered on all sides. 5. Allow the venison to marinate at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld. 6. Place the venison in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare or longer if you prefer it more done. 7. Once cooked, remove the venison from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices and ensure a tender and flavorful result. 8. Slice the venison thinly and arrange it on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. 9. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad. Enjoy the delightful combination of smoky, sweet, and savory flavors!
