Mix all of the marinade ingredients together in a dish until well blended.
Place venison tenderloin in a gallon zip-loc bag and pour marinade over the tenderloins.
Place sealed bags in the refrigerator and let marinate for 4 hours (minimum of 2 hours, max of 8), turning the bag every hour to ensure even coverage.
Remove tenderloins from marinade and heat skillet over medium heat and add butter.
Once butter is foaming, place venison in the skillet and cook until it reaches your desired level of doneness, flipping and rotating every couple minutes to ensure even cooking.
