Open to anything. Got a big tenderloin and 2 back straps from a buck I harvested earlier this season and looking for suggestions. Thanks!

Treat it like a beef tenderloin.

I'm personally tired of the old "stuff it with cream cheese and jalepenos" that everybody does.

Lately with backstrap I've been slicing thin and making fajitas with them.

Every once in a while I'll pound my meat, then batter and pan fry it and make some homemade biscuits with it for breakfast.

Have you tried doing this then wrapping it in bacon though?

I like to tenderize backstrap and fry them, then drain the oil leave the drippings in the pot and make a milk gravy, pour the milk gravy over the fried backstrap. Make some rice and to go along with it.

Not a revelation at all. Just saying what I do with them.

Walk into a crowd of baws and mention "backstrap with cream cheese and japs" and 9/10 of them will tell you that its a culinary masterpiece. Maybe it is. But I'm not the biggest fan.

Took a doe a couple of weeks ago, marinated the backstrap in buttermilk, Allegro, and a couple of shots of bourbon overnight. Took it out, cut into 1" thick medallions and pounded them out to about a 1/2" thickness. Dredged in seasoned flour, then into an egg wash, and then back through the flour. Fried at 350.

They came out amazing, like mini chicken fired steaks. Made a very tasty sandwich the next day too.

I've stuffed one with garlic. Browned it then baked it and it came out great.

I seasoned one at the end of last season and vacuum packed it. Pulled it out a few weeks ago and reseasoned with pepper, coarse Kosher salt and Hardcore Carnivore Black. Sprayed with Ghee spray and seared on all 4 sides on a very hot grill to internal temp of 130*. Let rest and slice thin

It was the best piece of red meat I’ve ever eaten.

Medium Rare Backstrap is one of Gods gift to mankind.

Leave the back strap whole, season the outside with salt and pepper, grill it on a pretty hot fire till you get a little char. Let it rest about 10 minutes, slice it 3/4" thick and then seer each side to med rare.

+1 Always my go-to. Can do a reverse sear too.

Anyone tried cutting thin and using on philly cheese steak?

If you have one off a big boy to where it’s pretty thick, Sous vide at 128* for 30-40 minutes, season and sear, then you don’t have to sear the slices.

I usually grill it medium rare with salt/pepper/garlic and butter or chimichurri. I use this recipe every now and then because my wife prefers it over grilled. Venison Steak Diane
