The biggest problem with venison is overcooking it. I would rub the tenderloin with salt and pepper, then sear it on all sides in grapeseed oil in a hot pan. Then put it in the oven at 300º until the internal temperature registers about 100-120º for rare, being careful not to overcook it. While the meat rests, cook up a simple sauce to serve alongside, or warm up a jar of fig conserve. Game loves fruit.

I agree that overcooking is a problem. I like low and slow. Brown the roast and then cook in in the slow cooker. I like to put a jar of cherry preserves on top of it as it cooks.
