I was given some backstrap from a friend who was apparently shitfaced when he cleaned the deer. I would usually salt/pepper and sear it on the grill, but it is pretty torn up.

I trimmed it up, removed the silver skin, cut it up and pounded it out to fry. I would normally just dust in seasoned flour and fry in my black iron skillet.

Have any of you guys tried a fish-fry product and deep fried? Just looking for something different.

Fry it and smother it with country gravy. That always seems to work out for me.

My wife dredges it through seasoned flour, then dips it in a bow of cold water, then flours it again - gives it a little extra "crust". I like it that way. Be sure to make some buttermilk cathead biscuits to go with it!!!

I put mine through an egg wash solution then into seasoned flour and into the grease.. U already did the most important thing (pounding it out to make it tender)
Enjoy. Jealous

If you must fry it, make an egg/ butter wash and deep fry.

However, searing it whole on a hot fire and thin slicing it is the only way to eat backstrap, IMO.

I keep 2 deer a year just for tenderized steaks to fry and bacon wrap for the grill. I grill all of my straps.

Like I said, I normally would just sear it on the grill, but it was all beat to shite and cutting it up was the only real option. Salt and peppered backstrap on a hot grill is one of my absolute favorite things.

That said, I tried a few different methods and the one this one gave me the best results. Dust the pieces in 1/2 chicken fry and 1/2 AP flour, run through egg wash, back in flour mixture and into fryer.

I wish I had two more for the game today!

I have used fish fry and flour 1/2&1/2. only because I didn't have enough flour

It was good. Not much different than strait flour.

Cut it into medallions then season with salt, red pepper, and a few glugs of dales marinade. Let sit for 15 mins or so and then toss in egg whites and pass through bread crumbs and deep fry.
