Coat the Venison: Press each venison cube into the bread crumb mixture, ensuring a thorough and even coating on all sides. Place the coated venison onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pieces are not touching to allow for even browning. (10 minutes)
05 Step

Broil to Perfection: Broil in the preheated oven until the bread crumbs are golden brown and the venison has cooked to your desired degree of doneness. The center should transition from red to pink, approximately 6 minutes. Turn the cubes occasionally to ensure even cooking. (6 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Serve: Divide the fresh arugula evenly among four dinner plates. Top each bed of arugula with the broiled venison tenderloin bites. Squeeze a quarter of a lemon over each plate to add a burst of citrus and enhance the flavors. (2 minutes)
For a richer flavor, try using garlic-infused olive oil instead of plain olive oil.
Adjust the broiling time based on the thickness of your venison cubes and your preferred level of doneness. A meat thermometer can be used to ensure accuracy.
If you don't have fresh parsley, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of dried parsley.
Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the bread crumb mixture for a subtle kick.
These bites are also delicious served with a balsamic glaze or a creamy horseradish sauce.
