How to cook a backstrap

To each his own. But I'm with dc bigdaddy and Downeast on this one. Gotta cook it. I use a homemade rub, sometimes bacon wrapped, and indirect heat with some pecan wood. Get the internal temp to 140*. Pink and juicy and good, and it ain't raw.
Didn't get any pics once I cut it, there were a few people there and it got gone fast, lol

Yeah but you're a goober eater....
I must disagree.... it would take a man that puts wet goobers in his mouth to cook a back strap beyond medium rare... and even medium rare is pushing it.

I really don’t understand people that insist on overcooking a back strap..... you put the time and effort into harvesting that deer and then you go and ruin it by cooking the :donk:donk:donk:donk out of it.

I'm not one of those people.... I like medium or medium rare, just not eating it raw. This is perfect to me. Now shake your head all the way back to Virginia. 😘20201126_154335.jpg

You are correct. I put the time in and I will cook my back strap the way I want to. Your opinion of ruined doesn’t matter to me, and the way I cook mine shouldn’t matter to you.

It doesn’t. I just don’t understand it. It’s your deer, burn it if that’s the way you like it.

Y'all make this stuff look good, but Ive yet to taste any I've really liked.
I apparently don't have a clue what Im doing. If isn't cooked in the crock pot like a roast I can barely eat it.

Looks good. Just shine a bright flashlight on it and it's done.

Knock the horns off them and if they don't grunt or moo they done.
I like mine twix this and the original. I would err on the side of this. Rare, not raw, but certainly more raw than well.

I'm not even sure what I just said...
Well I hate to say it but you boys is just ruining it 😂

Venison carpaccio dressed with some olive oil, capers, my arugula little bit of balsamic and some good shaved Parmesan. The wife loves it this way and this is from a deer I killed two years ago and vacuum sealed. Good as the month it died.

What'd you use to slice it that thin with ?

i forgot I added fresh cracked pepper too and with the arugula it had some nice kick.
Two methods either one of which works... I used the first one tonight.

1) slice it about1/4- 1/8inch thick when its ice cold ( I use my chefs knife which is razor sharp). Then cut each round loin piece into 4 pieces and pound each of those 4 pieces thin by using a drop or two of olive oil on meat and cover it with a ziplock sandwich storage bag and use a meat mallet or small cast iron skillet. Hit it very flat each time. Olive oil allows the plastic to slip some and keeps the meat from tearing and the ziplocs hold up so much better than plastic wrap. This trick works great for making cutlets too.
2)Freeze it almost solid and use a Commercial meat slicer
I actually have some horseradish I grew and thought about that but seemed like a waste lol. Now on my deer pastrami sammies no doubt! I’m gonna shoot me a doe in the next week or so to make some deer pastrami soon.

Yeah, I've got sharp knives. I've got to remember the almost frozen thing....

I thought you had a good slicer and was gonna ask about the brand.
I can see some of that in the near future. (y)

Hobart That about 30 years old but it literally Takes Over an hour to take apart and clean up. I use it for a lot of meat like when I cure about 15 slabs of my bacon.

Y’all fellers that won’t eat that prolly like Chick-fil-A biscuits and seltzer beers don’t ya?!?

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks chick fil a’s breakfast (I don’t care for cfa in general) is nasty.

I will drink a seltzer though

I pan fried some tonight like my mama does. Dredged in buttermilk and flour fried fast in a pan of hot canola oil. It was perfect in every way. [emoji3526]
