    Back Straps?

    While I love the taste of venison, I have only cooked with ground meat such as brats and chili, never cuts of meat. Grandma used to make a roast that I loved, but again... I have never actually cooked anything like that with venison. So, yesterday a coworker gave me two venison back-straps and asked me to let him know how I end up preparing them so he can try to copy it. I thought I would ask the fella's who know best... the BBC Chefs!

    What's your best recipe? I need as many details as you can give so I don't screw this up. (Thanks!)

    DANG! that looks yummy! I never even considered wrapping and stuffing it but since I have two straps, I might do one of them this way.

    I really keep it simple cut the back straps to the thickness you desire our family like them somewhat thinker do to being more tender on the inside. After cutting put your favorite seasoning on them and I cook in olive oil. As stated above DON'T over cook and also realize the meat will still cook a bit once you take it out of the pan.

    I cut them into steaks, marinade them in a combination of Italian dressing, A1, Worcestershire sauce and a splash of lemon juice. Then grill them to medium at the most. Medium rare is better.

    This is how I cook mine in bacon drippings with chopped onions. Just don't over cook!

    I soak about a foot long strap in spicy Italian overnight. I then cook on the masterbuilt at 225 for 3 hours. Can’t be beat!
