Me? I hate it. For years I've been taking them out of my deer and elk and just tossing them into the burger pile. As far as beef goes, I've never had any that doesn't taste like urine, and I've tried a multitude of different ways to prepare them.

Tonight I thought that I'd try again and cooked up a nice filet mignon meal for the lady friend. Wonderful recipe, with very tasty sauce, but still...urine.

I'm done trying. Unfortunately, I've got about another five pounds of them in the freezer. I guess I'll just grind them up and use them in summer sausage or something.

If anyone wants them, pay the shipping and they're yours.

I haven't been able to deer hunt since meeting my wife four years ago. Tried to tell her about about the bacon wrapped tenderloin... she didn't understand until I bought a pork tenderloin from Costco and processed it.

Soaked some slices in water and liquid smoke for three days (changed every day), wrapped in bacon, and grilled.

What - filet is great, I pay extra for that shit. I think it is that sauce that was drizzled on it.

Only complaint I've heard from guys in Montana is that deer on the east side of the state tastes like sage

I like pork tenderloin, but I guess that's not the subject.

Our deer here are pretty small and it's not worth dropping the guts to get at that little bit of meat. I take the straps, four quarters and neck meat and leave the rest for the coyotes.

Having never tasted urine, I can neither agree nor disagree with this, however; tenderloin isn't my favorite cut. I much prefer ribeye.

....so then urine flavor summer sausage represents a more piquant delight than urine flavor tenderloin?

The only tenderloin I have had is beef tenderloin and I think it is amazing. If you cook it right then it is so juicy and tender.

Makes me wonder what your local deer have for a diet. Zero snark, here. Has to be something rather nasty they're regularly consuming that's flavoring the meat that badly. The tenderloin from the venison where I lived in (actual) upstate New York tasted somewhat sweet and savory, like the corn and alfalfa they ate just before the season. Widely and easily known as the best cut, or so I thought until this thread.

I think you've isolated the problem! If the OP stops his urine tasting, everything will be fine.

Oh, they are tender, it's just that rank taste that I don't care for.

Back when I had a much fattier diet, I didn't like the taste of beef tenderloin steak......no that I eat a lot leaner, my former favorites of ribeye and NY strip just taste like grease.....and tenderloin is my favorite. I just put salt and pepper on mine and grill them.......perhaps you need to leave off that tasty urine sauce you're putting on them.

It and backstrap are, um well, really good in my mind. I do like it.
