Not fresh, but last night's main course was still amazing.  Douglas County mule deer backstrap medallions, marinated in rice vinegar, olive oil and spices.

Try nuking the bacon ahead of time to give it a head start.

Fry the bacon separate and then sear the meat in the bacon grease.  That's our new duck blind tradition and I'm sure it would be just as good with venison.

Bacon? C'mon rookies! :chuckle: :tup:

Rub that meat with a good amount of olive oil and a bit oh dry rub. Sear it good and cook with indirect heat. Watch that temp and please rest that meat. I do believe we will need a 2018 backstrap challenge thread!

Aint nothing wrong with bacon. But it does have its challenges. Including crisping it without blowing by your internal temp goal. Prosciutto or guanciale are good alternatives.

The other guys have a point though. Fat + Herb/Spice + Sear + Indirect finish is probably the best way to do it.

Olive oil is great but I've been using herbed duck fat a lot lately. Heat duck fat until it's a liquid then add garlic, rosemary, thyme, sage and poach for about an hour. Then remove solids and let cool, pack in small jars for later use.

Making a bunch of dry rubs depending on the rest of the meal is fun. Rustic flavors (smoked salt, rosemary, juniper) Spanish (paprika, pepper, saffron) Italian (fennel pollen, pepper, garlic powder), The list goes on.

Another thing I do sometimes is to make a bed of rosemary on the indirect side of my bbq. The resin seeps out onto the meat without burning the herb.

OR OR OR

You sous vide the thing and sear at the end. Always good. And my fav fat to sear it in? Bone Marrow. So good!

Backstrap sounds good. But I've got a date with a turkey this week! And a bunch of pheasants and crawfish. Backstrap next week!

Put your bacon on a broiler pan, in the oven at 400* for 10 minutes or so, get it nice and hot, and the fats coming out, but not crispy, then wrap your strap, tooth pick it in place, and it will crisp up nicely!

Anyone else do similar?

Salt a cast iron pan (basically a layer of salt on the bottom of the pan)
place pan in 500 degree oven for 10 minutes
pull pan from oven and place over stove burner on high
rub room temp strap with EVOO
place in pan 2 minutes per side (8 minutes total) When rotating meat, put in a place with new salt
remove, sprinkle with pepper and rest 10 minutes

The trick when doing anything with a bacon wrap is to get THIN bacon.  We all love thick bacon, but it just does not cook right when used to wrap something.  Get that paper thin stuff and it will crisp right up and imparts that awesome bacon flavor with much less hassle.

How much salt? Regular or rock salt?
