Crock-Pot Venison Tenderloin

With just 4 ingredients in this quick and easy recipe for Crock-Pot Venison Tenderloin. The deer meat comes out SO tender and moist and full of flavor!

Crock-Pot Venison Tenderloin

Slow Cooker Venison Tenderloin

Since my family is a hunting family we always have a freezer full of delicious and lean deer meat. We love the flavor of venison and this recipe is SO stinkin’ easy and yummy that I am sure if you are a venison lover as much as I am you are going to want to make this recipe soon!

If you’re not a venison fan, have no fear, you can make this with a beef tenderloin too!

When I spotted a package of deer tenderloin that had been cut up into 1 inch thick slices in my freezer my mouth started to water. I quickly pulled the package out of the freezer and popped it into the refrigerator to thaw overnight.

The next day I sorted through the pantry to and found a couple of cans of low sodium cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup and a package of ranch dressing mix too.

I mixed up the cream of soups (make sure you are using low sodium versions…otherwise this is going to get WAY too salty) with the package of ranch dressing mix (you can totally make your own ranch dressing mix too…we have a recipe for that here ->>> Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix.

Place your slices of deer tenderloin in the crock-pot, pour the soup/ranch mixture over it and let it cook for about 5 hours until the meat in fork tender.

We then served the tenderloins over some cooked egg noodles, spooning the “gravy” mixture over it all for a simple and delicious dinner that the whole family really loved!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Other Cuts Of Venison Meat In This Recipe?

This recipe is easily adapted to other cuts of venison such as other types of venison roasts and steaks.

Can I Use Beef Or Pork Tenderloin In This Recipe?

You can use a beef tenderloin or pork tenderloin in this recipe and the results are fantastic. You can also use other game meat such as antelope, elk or moose.

Does The Venison Taste Gamey With This Recipe?

There will still be some wild game taste in the meat with this recipe but I have not found it to be as strong using this recipe. Some readers have reported that soaking the meat in milk for several hours or up to overnight before cooking helps the remove the gamey taste from the venison meat.

      I am glad you like Venison recipes. We did not get as much last year and ended up with just a few steaks and some loin and chops. I will see what I can come up with for some of the stew pieces or something.

    I’m wondering if it wasn’t the ranch powder that made it salty? I always use about half the package. Flavors it anyway, but does lower the sodium. Just a thought. Trying this tonight with some venison on the verge of being freezer burned. Always go with the crock when that happens.

    we love Venison roasts and stews. I always use the Campbell soups with dry onion soup mix with beef roasts. Would that work as well with Venison? Don’t have Ranch available and it would mean a special trip to the store.

          The cream of chicken soup gives you the flavor. You could substitute for your own homemade cream of chicken soup or another similar flavor soup.

    I’m an avid hunter and enjoy eating all wild game. I like for a nice crock pot venison roast. What I use for ingredients are…..place deer roast in the crock pot, sprinkle a packet of powder beef gravy and a packet of powdered hidden valley ranch on top of the roast, one stick of butter right on top of the powdered roast, and place 6-8 Pepperoncini peppers on the roast. Cook on low for 8 hrs. Serve with mashed potatoes.

      To take the game taste out you must soak the meat in milk for at least 24 hours

      While we have not tested this recipe with tenderized venison steaks yet Todd I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. This a rather basic recipe that should work for most types of meat. Keep in mind that steaks might cook faster than a roast and might dry out if overcooked. But if you watch the time I think you should be OK.

      If you try it, be sure to come on back and let us know how it turned out for you!

      I am sorry this recipe did not turn out right for you Hope. I am unsure how sliced venision tenderloin would still be bloody after cooking for 6 hours in the slow cooker. There is no reason why you would need to cook the meat before putting it in the slow cooker. Could you elaborate on how long you cooked the venison for?

    My venison was super dry after only 3 hours of low heat. How did this happen. I followed your instructions.

    • Crock-Pot Ladies says

      January 4, 2022 at 5:52 PM

      Hey John, I am sorry your tenderloin was dry. However the recipe calls for cooking the meat for 5 to 6 hours not just 3 hours. You need to cook the meat longer to soften up the connective tissue in the meat to make the meat tender. If you try this recipe again please be sure to cook it at least 5 hours.

      Best of luck

    To your comment about removing some of the game flavor I have found one very helpful way. My wife loves venison but is NOT a fan of the strong game flavor but what I have done for years now is let the meat rest in a gallon zip lock bag with 7up/sprite, the game flavor is knocked down a ton compared to before. I am very excited to try this recipe soon!! Looks super simple and quick for the most part.
