I have some in my freezer and I don't know what to use them for because I don't know what they are. Can they be used for a main course?

They are the very tender strips of meat that run down either side of the spine.
Thaw and season, sear in a fry pan on each side in a little oil to brown and then put it in a preheated oven until it is cooked to your degree of thoroughness.
Overcooking will make it dry out.
Allow to rest before carving.
De glaze fry pan with a little stock scraping all of the bits off the bottom add some butter and reduce.
Pour the gravy over meat on plate.
Enjoy

first i marinate the in olive oil, coat them rosemary, black pepper and garlic.
then i sear them in a hot cast iron pan about 3-6minutes per side until done through the way you preferr.
in our opinion, its the best part of the deer!
try out a couple of recipes, venison can be a pure joy to cook! just be patient with it! it over cooks very quickly!

I think you are refering to tenderloin. It is a very tender, low fat meat. You can use it for anything you would use beef for. It makes great steaks also.
