For a deeper flavor, consider marinating the venison overnight in a mixture of red wine, garlic, and herbs. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the spice level to your preference. If you don't have cooked bacon on hand, you can fry raw bacon in the skillet before adding the venison. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a vibrant finish.

Mar 11, 2023I substituted buffalo for the venison and it was equally delicious. The smoky bacon added a great depth of flavor.
