Thought I’d share one of my favorite ways to cook a backstrap
It’s not too hard and it turns out great, you can mix and match your own ingredients but here is what I like to add to it:
1 large backstrap
Half an onion chopped
Half a red pepper chopped
3-4 cloves of garlic minced
A handful of spinach
1 cup of chopped parsley
Salt and pepper
Montreal seasoning
Pack of bacon, I used thicker bacon because it’s what I had already, thinner bacon works better though
A cup or two of your favorite cheese, I like mozzarella or Parmesan
First take your backstrap and fillet it out about a half inch thick so it’s all one flat piece of meat.
Rub the slab of meat with a little olive oil and season both sides with a little salt and pepper and Montreal.
Take your chopped veggies and mix them all together in a bowl with your cheese then add the mixture on top of your filleted out venison.
After you’ve done that, roll the whole thing up like a taco then wrap the whole out side of it with bacon strips and toothpick it together. Pre heat over to 375 and bake in a pan covered for about 40min check occasionally and then bake uncovered for a few minutes to brown top and you’re done!
Here’s a couple before and after pics!
