Essentially, it's a tenderloin. It has a lot less fat than pork or beef.

Sliced and country fried with some spicy white gravy and a biscuit is what I would do.

Coarse salt and pepper. Sear fast on a hot fire, all four sides, to no more than medium rare.

Cook it like a steak.

I also like to sear it, slice thin, and dip in some ponzu sauce with some togarashi mixed in

Yes but do not cook well done!! It will be like shoe leather. Med rare so that it is a little bloody when slicing FTW

Reverse sear with a board sauce.

If you have a Sous Vide, do 129* for an hour, sear with some butter after

Actually it is a strip steak not a tenderloin. I will give out backstrap, but I will not give away a deer tenderloin.

You are correct. My mistake.

Actually the front half of the backstrap would be the ribeye and the rear half the strip. And if you cut thru the rib in the back half of the strap and got you some of it and the tenderloin you would have yourself a T-bone. Or in pork terms a backstrap would just be a loin.

Season with salt and pepper like a streak?

Backstrap tastes the best fried.


It will look pretty and present better if you sear it rare, but unfortunately it has tougher texture than a beef filet and has less flavor than a beef ribeye

Lightly coated in flour and pan fried til golden is the best way to consume it IMHO. Chicken fried is also delicious
