In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, red wine, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the boneless venison loin in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Remove the venison loin from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and allow it to melt and sizzle.
Remove the venison from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and sear the meat in the hot skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until a golden-brown crust forms.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the venison loin for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time based on your desired doneness.
Remove the venison from the oven and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to rest for 10 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
While the venison rests, return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet along with any leftover marinade. Stir and simmer for 3-4 minutes to create a pan sauce.
Slice the venison loin into thick medallions, drizzle with the pan sauce, and serve immediately. Pair with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
