   • In a bowl, blend the lemon pepper seasoning with 1 cup of flour until well combined. This seasoned flour will add a delightful flavor to the venison.

2. Heat Liquid Ingredients:

   • In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and dried thyme leaves. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it’s warm and well combined, infusing the flavors together.

3. Prepare Venison Slices:

   • Take the venison tenderloin and slice it into 3/4″ thick pieces. This thickness ensures the meat remains tender and juicy throughout the cooking process.
   • Place the slices between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them until their surface area doubles. This tenderizes the meat and ensures even cooking.

4. Coat Venison Slices:

   • Press each venison slice into the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides. This flour coating will create a crispy outer layer when pan-fried, locking in the juices and flavors.

5. Pan Fry Venison:

   • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Pan-fry the coated venison slices until they turn golden brown on each side, ensuring they are cooked to perfection while maintaining their tenderness.

6. Layer in Casserole Dish:

   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). As the venison slices brown, layer them in a 3-quart casserole dish along with the thinly sliced onions, alternating between the meat and onions. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of unseasoned flour over the layers.

7. Add Liquid Mixture:

   • Once all the venison slices and onions are layered in the casserole dish, pour the warm liquid mixture over them, ensuring every slice is coated with the savory sauce. This step infuses the venison with rich flavors as it bakes.

8. Bake to Perfection:

   • Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Then, uncover the dish and bake for an additional 20 minutes to allow the venison to develop a delicious caramelized crust.

9. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once baked to perfection, remove the casserole dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs for a vibrant touch and serve this delectable Sweet and Savory Venison alongside your favorite sides.
