Give me some Ideas to grill some veneson backstrap.....

YUCK! Throw that crud out. Better yet, I'll come and do it for you so you don't have to touch it.

I say grill it chicken fried steak style, forget the grill chicken fry it!

Try K-bobs.

butterfly then chicken fry

Love some grilled backstrap. Usually just do this.

Remove silverskin

Coat heavy with Montreal Steak Seasoning, Let sit in fridge a while then take out before grilling and allow to come to room temp. Grill to rare or medium rare. Let rest 10 minutes, slice thin 1/8 inch works great. Serve with mashed sweet potatoes and other favorite veggie. If any is leftover it makes for great sandwhich meat.

When I put backstraps in the freezer, they get cut in 6inch or so sections and the above is how they almost always get cooked

Cut it 3/4-1", get a cast iron skillet hot enough to make a drop of water dance, slap a little olive oil on the meat, throw it on the skillet long enough to sear each side, then chow down.

This is what I usually do with mine.

I just mix up some Italian Dressing, Worcestershire, butter, garlic powder, and other various seasonings and smoke it for a couple hours. I use the same blend of stuff on the red butter taters too. Taters usually take longer than the meat so I keep them closer to the heat so they get done around the same time. The juice makes for a nice gravy too.

ITS AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS TOO.

Jcb, do you close up that foil or smoke it open like that? Gonna have to try that way!

grilled to sear in, then into foil with onions, peppers, garlic, is very good; foil packs of squash/onions, or brocolli/carrots etc are very good with it;

It also makes the best fajitas/steak taco's ever....

I keep the meat simi closed to keep all the liquid from evaporating. Gotta keep it open a little though to let some of the smoke in. I have left it wide open before but you have to keep a close eye on it to make sure it dont dry out.

The taters I leave wide open and even bring them to a boil at times to soften them up real good. The more the liquid dries up on those the better as long as you dont dry the taters out. As the liquid evaporates on those it gets thicker and leaves a nice glaze of flavor on them.

Had some last nite at a friends house..best Ive ever had..dnt knw how he breaded it ..very light flour..spices..olive oil..it was like it was grilled..but in a black iron..

Sure do look good. Gonna have to give this a try.

I'm pro foil as well, looks good!

I've braised it Asian-style with great results.

1. Lightly saute 1 onion, 3 or more chopped garlic cloves, and some shaved or chopped ginger in some olive oil. Set aside.

2. Take a dutch oven and lightly oil. Sear backstrap over high heat on both sides on the stove. Set aside.

3. Add saute, backstrap, one American Ale, 1/4c soy sauce, 1/4c hoisin sauce to dutch oven. Add sriracha if you like heat. Bring to a simmer.

4. Place dutch oven in 300 degree oven and braise for 2.5-3 hours.

Serve with mashed potatoes and pour braising liquid over them. Or, snap-peas.

Edit: For the grill, sear it over high heat and continue with above recipe.

Cut in 1" medallions, season to taste - I just use salt/pepper/garlic powder, sear on both sides, and serve. Less is more, save the fancy fixins for cuts of meat & critters that are less desirable.

-ww

+1 on the foil.
I usually add some sliced onions and maybe a little clove garlic and wrap it up.

These are my favorite ways.

1. Marinate in sun dried tomato dressing in fridge for a few hours and grill to slightly over rare. Serve with baked potato, bacon wrapped dove (if I have any at the time) and a cold Blue Moon.

2. Sear in butter in cast iron skillet. Serve with home fires and sunny side up eggs.

I have to chicken fry it, I cant make myself eat it rare..

Amen!

Just like a dove wrap. Small cleaned pieces. Marinate over night with your favorites, wrap in bacon with onion, tamed Mezzettos jalapeño and Tony's Creole seasoning. Grill till medium. Best you ever had

All those recipes look excellent.

marinate it in teriyaki sauce(and anything else you may like) for a day, slice it REALLY thin, cook it in a pan with onions, caramelize said onions...get french bread, toss meat and onions on bread with provolone cheese, enjoy
