I start by cracking black pepper and salt and spreading all over a cutting board. Pull some rosemary from the yard and chop it real fine. Distribute the RM across the board with the s and p. Roll the backstrap to coat. Sear in butter, let rest, and slice thin. I served with Brussel sprouts with bacon and balsamic.

Looks excellent. Do similar often. I would hate to know I’d never have the awesomeness of fried backstrap again though. Only doing it one way doesn’t make any sense.

It’s really good that way.


And it’s really good fried, too.

That looks awesome!!

Next time you clean the deer, peel the back strap from the backbone. Then, cut the ribs in both sides. It’ll leave you a bone in strap.

Nice but nothing better than marinated and pounded out battered and flash fried blackstrap. Nothing

That way is awesome but it goes too fast. If you have a bunch of people, Italian bread crumbs and deep fried goes a lot further and is tastey too.

Backstrap, really is all about who is cooking it.

Ive had the pleasure of sitting at a camp with a old school hunter in his 60s that made a backstrap roast.

Also had it grilled on a pit, med/rare.

The best peace of meat I ever ate hands down.

Never had it fried, or pan fried but I cant wait to try.

Why do this to backstrap though? I enjoy a good chicken fried steak as much as anyone, but if you are going to pound out a piece of red meat there's no reason to use a loin. A piece of the round roast meat or sirloin is great for this also. I like the rounds for this because they are more of a solid piece of muscle as opposed to having layers of fat.

They work great for slicing, pounding out, and then frying.

I think its very similar to something like friend grouper fingers. Grouper is great fried, but most fresh fish is. There's some other cheaper options that are great for frying is all I'm saying.

Dear God that looks good. I am going up a deer from the processor today and was wondering how I was going to cook it.

Second place though to me slicing thin and tossing on my dehydrator.

That’s become my thinking as well. You can pound out and fry just about anything and it be good.. keep the loins simple.

I’ve never understood this either. Fried blackstrap is good, but you can fry a shoe and make it taste good. The slow roasted back straps that live had were unbelievably good.

Yea but can you slow roast a shoe and make it taste good? I think I’d rather use the method that is so tasty it can make a shoe taste good

Absolutely! Frying is for the steaks only. Reverse searing the backstraps is my favorite way to go. Making a board sauce too is great.

Looks fantastic OP. Try using thyme in the pan next time. I appreciate when people cook wild game properly.
