A great recipe, but I must say: salt is required, at some point. I'd salt the meat when I pepper it for sure. I'd probably add a little salt to the gravy, too. Also, I used three medium onions (on the largeish side) and it was definitely onion overload, so I'd probably use two next time. Of course, that is all a matter of personal taste. Otherwise, great recipe, and I appreciate you sharing it! :) -
This was DELICIOUS! I added more garlic & used more butter to create the sauce but my foodie husband LOVED it! This will definitely be made very often! -
Followed the easy directions and the dinner was excellent . My wife never liked venison growing up and had nothing but raves for this meal. That says it all. 5 stars in my book . Thanks for the help.. -
This is a staple in my house during deer season! I get tired of battering and frying all the tenderloin so this is a nice change and it has gravy! YUM! You do need to add a good bit of salt at the end and I only use one onion. Serve over rice!

Very, very good. I only used 1 large onion sliced thin. I added salt and pepper. Everything else is as the recipe is written.<br/>This is an amazing dish! Thanks for sharing.

This is wonderful! I made one addition to the sauce...I substituted 1/2 cup of Merlot for part of the water (our preference). DH hummed through his dinner. Thank you for posting!
