Teriyaki Venison Tenderloin Stir-Fry Recipe
Venison is a staple food in our household. With three hunters, myself, my husband, and my son in the family, it quickly fills the freezers, but surely makes for some of our favorite meals.
When my husband and I were first married, my cooking skills weren’t exactly as fierce as they are today, so easy venison recipes were always a big hit.
Over the years, I have taken those “easy” recipes and jazzed them up a bit, but for some, it’s not necessary. This recipe is one of them.
Teriyaki tenderloin stir-fry was one of the very first venison meals I made as a newlywed and today is now one of my son’s favorites.
The teriyaki sauce works for more than just venison, too! This sauce/marinade is great on beef, pork, and chicken too! It is so simple but so versatile!
