do you ever have a problem with it sticking to the hot skillet?


I don't. I use a well seasoned cast iron skillet at a fairly high temperature and olive oil. I havent done it on a regular skillet to know what it would do. It doesn't take long to cook. Once you get a sear on each side, take it off. Then I put it on a plate loosely covered with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting.

Not saying I won't eat it if it's fried but I won't cook it that way

Why not? Not really any wrong way to do backstrap IMO, but it's hard to beat fried backstrap.

Nice! I like to grill it or pan sear it in a hot arse skillet and eat medium rare. Especially a little jewel like that. She's gonna be tasty


Hard to beat fried backstrap? the method quoted would be a 4 touchdown favorite over fried backstrap.

I am also mostly joking. But, the med rare hot sear is worth a try for anyone.

Plus, OP said he wanted a way his fiance would like.

Thanks everyone, it was a cool feeling.

No black belt for me, highest I got was gray. MCMAP wasnt as wide spread when I was in, while all enlisted had some stuff we had officers with web belts. It was hard to get instructors to our unit. When I got out, I think they finally got two people certified or whatever. MCMAP wasn't real important to a bunch of aircraft maintainers anyway.

That's just a wilderness belt I wear when I carry a pistol, its an awesome belt but the buckle is heavy.

Congrats on the deer

Personally, I don't like to soak mine in ice water. I like to treat mine like I would beef, and I wouldn't soak a beef steak or roast in water.

If I were you, I'd trim all the sinew(silver skin) off the straps, then slice them about 2 inches thick. Then wrap each piece in a piece of bacon (although this step is optional depending on your taste). My wife doesn't like hers in bacon, I do. Next, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh cracked pepper and sea salt. Then place on very hot grill for a couple minutes per side or until medium rare. A doe like you have there should come out tender and delicious.

If I do age my backstraps, I do so in a large ziplock in the fridge without any water, and have left them in there up to a week and a half before cooking. If you have access to a walkin cooler, just let her hang up to 2 week gutted with the hide on.

Congrats!
Welcome to the Brotherhood... More addicting than any drug though, and now you got your first hit.

This is worth trying, believe me. Just take a piece of your straps and try this...

Slice thin (1/4")
Marinade in some Dales/Moore's for an hour.
Smear some cream cheese on both sides.
Place a small amount of chopped, pickled jalapenos to the inside.
Roll up inside of a half slice of thin bacon, stick with a toothpick.

Grill med. slow, till bacon is done enough.
Say thanks!
