re: How do you cook your backstrap?

rub light coat of EVOO, salt, generous black pepper, grill over high heat
let rest, slice, and top with chimichurri
I use a Thermopen probe and remove meat from when internal temp reads 120-122 ..... after resting it gets to 125-127 (rare to med/rare) and full of flavor
chimichurri sauce:
1 large bunch of parsley, roughly chopped
5-7 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 red chiles, finely chopped (if they’re small use 4)
¼ cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
backstrap wrapped in bacon

last couple I did (pronghorn and a chunk of an elk backstrap) I used a recipe from the "buck buck moose" cookbook (which is fantastic) and it was a big hit. Basically leave it whole or cut to a size that will fit in your pan. Make caramelized onions. season meat and cook in a pan with butter until med-rare. Make mushrooms in the pan.
otherwise I usually just cut to 1.5-2" thick medallions and cook like any other steak.

Grill to medium-rare with only salt and pepper.

So the guy from Southern Boyz seasoning had a video of him making backstrap stew. People online attacked him for wasting the backstrap on a stew.

The cooks offshore used to use leftover filet mignon for the beef soup the next day, best beef soup ever.
I told my wife I would slap her if she ever used soup shank for a soup again!

If your family eats alot of tenderized steaks, cut steaks out of the hindquarters and fry them.

For sure. I got the downvotes, but crock pot deer steaks is awesome. The jerky is great, also. I’ve hunted several DMAP properties, so I had enough backstraps to do various things with.
