Cut into medallions 1 to 1 1/2 inch thick, salt/pepper and grill to Med rare. Eat with whatever sides you want, simple and delicious.

Cold smoked until 129°, or just hot and fast until that IT. I usually cut my backstraps into thirds before freezing to give you and idea on size.

Chislic. Simple and delicious. Use butter instead of oil.

Steak au Poivre is my go-to for backstraps. I will truss the strap first, then slather it with good EVOOO and coarse kosher salt. I then use a mortar and pestle to grind green peppercorns and apply liberally to the outside. Set my sous vide to 133, vacuum seal the meat and put it in the water bath for about 2 hours. Then get a hot skillet going with Irish butter to sear the strap on all sides. Set the meat aside to rest and get the sauce going. Brandy/Cognac in the same skillet and ignite. After the flames die, add cream to the pan and let the sauce thicken until it sticks to the back of a spoon. Slice the meat and spoon the cream sauce over top.
It sounds more difficult than it is, but once you get it down, it's easy. Everybody loves it, even my wife who isn't a big fan of venison or elk.

One of my favorite ways is to take a 6 to 8 inch piece, coat it heavy with montreal Steak seasoning and put in a bag in the fridge the day before cooking, take it out and let it come to room temp and grill on hot grill until 125 internal temp. Slice thin for serving cross grain. Since on a very low salt diet these days I mix my own dry rub to use with no salt. Some moisture will draw out some will soak back in but turns out great every time and if there are any left overs it makes for great meat on a sandwich or salad. Elk Tenderloin cooked that way
