Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 pounds venison tenderloin; 1/4 cup vegetable oil; 2 teaspoons bacon drippings; 3/4 cup all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1 egg, lightly beaten; 2 tablespoons milk; 1 cup dry bread crumbs; 1/2 cup crushed buttery round cracker crumbs; 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Servings: persons

2 pounds venison tenderloin
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons bacon drippings
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup crushed buttery round cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons lemon juice

1
Cut tenderloin into 1/2 inch steaks. Slice each steak in half horizontally, from the smallest toward the largest side, until there is only a very small section keeping the two halves connected. Slice a few small scores on the outer edges of each steak to prevent them from curling up when frying.
2
Preheat oil and bacon drippings in a large heavy skillet over medium high heat. In a large shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper. In a separate shallow bowl, beat together egg and milk. In another shallow dish, combine bread crumbs and cracker crumbs.
3
Dredge the steaks in the seasoned flour, and using a meat mallet, pound them down to just slightly less than their 1/4 inch thickness. Dip the steaks in the egg mixture, then coat each steak on both sides with the crumbs. Set aside on a clean plate. When all steaks are evenly coated, place prepared steaks gently in a single layer into the hot oil.
4
Fry steaks for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle each steak lightly with lemon juice.
