What's with Backstrap?
« on: April 10, 2013, 03:13:53 PM »
I've never had it, but heard it was a better part of the deer?   I just took about 2 lbs of it out of the chest freezer that my buddy gave me from his deer last year.  What should I do with it?  I want to eat it tonight I think, but if the crockpot is best I guess I could wait another day.... I've never had it or cooked it, dont know what to expect.  I think its one solid chunk, though I may be wrong, it may be steaks or something.  It's not thawed yet.

backstraps and tenderloins are my favorite two cuts. I like to marinade my steaks for a good few days then cook them medium rare on the bbq with a side of taters, a salad and a cold beer. YUMMY!  :drool:

the best way to me is to cut it in about 1/4 in thick pieces and take a ziploc bag and flour, just enough to coat the meat real good add spices to the flour, throw the meat in there and let it sit why you fry up a pound of bacon, after bacon is done turn temp to about 5 and fry the deer meat in the bacon grease, fry it until the top of the meat turn bloody pink and then flip it for about 2 minutes, eat wwhlie it is hot with fried taters and bacon......mmmmmmm goood

Oh you lucky dude. Cut it up into 1.5 inch thick steaks then marinade in a little sauce of choice; or not: season and start the coals in the grill. When the coals are ready cook em at 5-6 mins on one side then 3-4 on the other for med/rare. Let me know when we are gonna eat, ill go fill a growler!  :tup:

1' slabs at room temp. i like a little Montreal seasoning thumped into it with the palm of my hand. med rare on the grill. or do like a prime rib with fresh ground pepper & aujus & a little horse radish sauce on the side.
prepare to be amazed. my only regret is that your first try has been frozen. enjoy!!

I guess I'm simpler than most. I cut it into 1/4 to 1/2 inch steaks, and throw it in the frying pan in a little olive oil, cook on medium-high heat 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add a little salt and pepper, and dig in!   :drool:

My preferred method is cut them into nice thick steaks, wrap bacon around the outside, use your favorite seasonings and BBQ sauce, fire up the grill (don't over cook lean meat like deer) and ENJOY!  Simple, fast and tasty.

 :yeah:
But forget the BBQ sauce for me. Bacon wrap, sprinkle some blue cheese crumbles on. Eat rare to med. Mmmmmmm...

Sounds like allot of folks like it thin and overcooked.  :dunno:
