Venison Backstrap Jerky

[MossyMO64]

Sliced up 6 1/2 pounds of venison backstrap, sealed in a Ziplock and in the fridge overnight with hickory jerky seasoning and cure. Here is the jerky getting some oak smoke with the grill running 150º.

-----

About 4 hours in a few slices were looking about right to take off and all were done a few hours later.

Bon Appétit!

Thanks for looking!

Looks good, but aren't backstraps sort of a fancy cut to be using for jerky?

That's what I was thinking. Maybe back in the 5 deer days, but now I appreciate the chops too much to do that. 

They do make amazing jerky though, looks good!!!

It was my wife's uncle's backstrap from an old buck, he was going to turn it into sausage and we told him nonsense, we will make you jerky with it!

I guess we can forgive you...

Better jerky than sausage

are you sure about that?  sausage needs porks added and you get more to eat, jerky shrinks to about 1/3 the weight...  LOL...   something to ponder,,

[lovebigbluegills]

That's why its such a treat! Hopefully I'll be turning a couple roasts into jerky in the next few weeks.

I always use back straps for jerky. I love jerkey, and with the back straps its the tenderest stuf, and slap it on a bun with what ever and yum then toss it down with some brandy and its game on. guesse I'll have to make some Boars best bacstrap jerky to give away for the super bowl game thing constest we do.

Boar your goofy ruining the best chunk of meat, OK second best, of venison.

I was afraid to admit it, but I have made jerky from the straps before as well, but if boar is man enough to admit it I will to!! Good stuff!
