Backstrap recipes

[NorthernOutdoors]

Hello everyone! Now that you have your venison (hopefully), how do you prepare the backstraps?

We're taken whole straps to Baker's Ribs in EP and had them smoke 'em and wrap them in bacon.

i had to wipe my mouth twice after reading that.

Grilled or fried in butter and onions and shared by all on the same day the deer were killed.

Similar to Brittman... we cook'em up fresh the day of harvest as well. Slice them into very thin pieces and sautee them in butter and garlic.

I really need to shoot a deer soon.

Cube the straps. Wrap them in bacon and secure with a toothpick. Marinade 50/50 with Western Dressing and Franks Red Hot. (Generally overnight) Grill until bacon is crisp.

Cut into 1 1/2 in thick fillets. Garlic salt, onion podwer, cracked black pepper a pinch of lowry's seasoned salt, worcheshire dribbled onto the top let sit for a couple hours in fridge. Grilled to medium rare over mesquite, topped with shredded crab meat and a dallop of bearnaise sauce.

All of that sounds great. The only thing I have to add is that you need to cut them out as soon as possible. If left hanging overnight they will dry out and get tough. Just my experience.

I think he was asking about backstraps and not the tenderloins which are on the inside of the deer cavity. Two great chunks of meat but they are quite different in my opinion. We eat our tenderloins in camp. Cut up in cubes, seasoned and sauteed in onions, nushrooms and butter.

2 years ago i took the whole strap stuffed the middle with a cream cheese and ground pork mix, then wrapped it in bacon i really liked it you can grill it then or put it in the oven to cook

Here's one I did last year that was a huge hit. I've done it to both the chops and tenderloins.

Butchering treat which my father-in-law was always in charge of while the rest of us had our hands dirty: salt & pepper, hot grill to medium rare, warmed up barbecue sauce and a can of beans as a side. Might be my favorite meal of the year.

To this date I make them the same way year round but never quite as good as when fresh and enjoying them with the rest of the group.

Our tenderloins never leave camp. They're in a pan simmering with onions before they're ever cold.
