Great venison backstrap recipe!

[Mark 1911]

Just tried this one over the weekend and it was excellent, and simple. Even my wife enjoyed it, and she's not a big game eater.

Soak the backstrap in apple cider for about 24 hours in the fridge. Cut the backstrap into 2 inch sections and let soak in BBQ sauce for 2 to 3 hours in the fridge. Allow to come back to room temp. Wrap in thick cut bacon so that the knife cuts are covered by the bacon. Cook on a charcoal grill (gas will work but the charcoal flavor is a huge plus on this one). Watch close so that the bacon drips don't flare up and burn the meat. Use a little water to kill the flare-ups if necessary.

That sounds fantastic.

I made some loin tips last night. Lemon juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar base, add a touch of curry, heavy on the paprika, fresh garlic, ground pepper to taste. In a bag for 2 hours. Baked in foil with fresh mushrooms and onion. Kind of made it up on the fly but it turned out very tender and tasty!

Yours is the next recipe I'm trying!

Same here except no more than 2 min/side for me. A good bit of pink is what you want for some fantastic tasting meat... better than a filet mignon...

Mine were still red at the center. Maybe my skillet isn't as hot?

I'm always looking for good game recipes. My wife and kids dont like the idea of eating deer. Maybe this can change their minds.

That's possible. I was using a nice, thick cast iron skillet that was well pre-heated... and kept the heat cranking throughout the cooking process..

jack daniels steak marinade 3-4 dollars works pretty good when you soak the backstrap then grill

 

[buckstopshere]

Sounds good. I may have to give this recipe a try! Thanks OP

I've tried others but seem to always come back to good ole salt and a little butter, medium rare (more rare than medium) and it seems to be my families favorite. We had tenderloins this way just two nights ago.

 

[DMBFan]

Can go wrong with a good bacon wrapped strap in my opinion.

 

[Rogkin]

That sounds great.
