Backstrap......Sometimes Amazing.


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Sometimes backstrap is amazing but not always.  I really don't know what I do right or wrong each time and it's not like it's  my second or third time LOL.

The date on the wrapping paper was 11/28/2021 so it was a doe.  It was thawed over night (not advisable) on the counter last night then placed in Wegman's Lemon & Garlic marinade till I put it on the 450 degree grill tonight.   A quick HOT grilling left it fairly rare on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside.  It only sat for a couple of minutes before we dug in and it was amazing.   The texture, taste and tenderness would rival ANYTHING you could get at a restaurant, ANYWHERE. 

What happened? LOL

Let me help you......although I was two deep on the Manhattan's that did not cloud my judgement.  :)

I have backstrap out for tomorrow night myself. And generally I cook it in a hot cast iron with butter and some steak spices.  It's always a winner as long as it's not overcooked.  

Considering some mushrooms and wild rice with it and prob make a pan sauce. Possibly with a little cranberry added.

I like backstraps much more than tenderloins. But I agree with you. It seems like every other meal is excellent or it’s just not that good at all and unevenly cooked or drier.

Cool! What times dinner? Charlie and I are both looking forward to it!

Rarely but it does happen once every couple years they're awful.  I don't know WTH went wrong but it happens.  Tonight they were outstanding.  Cooked to perfection on the Weber gas grill.......

@Lawdwaz are you always letting it rest for a couple minutes after? 

Although I agree I've made ones that were better than others. But always better than a gas station burrito. Lol

This afternoon I butchered the doe I harvested the other day and decided to try to  include the rib bone with the backstrap chops.   I doubt it will change the taste but it will present nicely on the plate!  I didn’t have my phone to look up ideas on to make this cut…I also didn’t have a fine-tooth saw to cut the ribs from the spine so I cut them off with my knife at the “joint”.  Hoping to figure out an easier way…the route I took was very tedious.
