Nutritional values

Game meat has a more favorable fatty acid profile than other types of meat. The beets in this dish also provide iron, which is responsible for the transport of refreshing oxygen in the body. 

In our recipe, the venison loin is finished in 12 minutes, which is quite rare. If you like your meat a little more well-done, extend cooking time in the oven by 5-8 minutes.
