GRILLED VENISON BACKSTRAP

Tender chunks of venison are marinated twice, and wrapped in thick bacon before being grilled until crispy on the outside. A venison version of Filet Mignon. This is a heavenly use of the best part of a deer. For the BBQ sauce, I prefer hickory flavored.

Time 5h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds venison backstrap, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 quart apple cider
1 ½ pounds thick sliced bacon
2 (12 ounce) bottles barbecue sauce, your choice

Steps:

  • Place chunks of venison into a shallow baking dish, and pour enough apple cider in to cover them. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours. Remove, and pat dry. Discard apple cider, and return venison to the dish. Pour barbeque sauce over the chunks, cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 more hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Charcoal is best, but if you must, use gas. Remove meat from the refrigerator, and let stand for 30 minutes, or until no longer chilled. Wrap each chunk of venison in a slice of bacon, and secure with toothpicks.
  • Brush the grill grate with olive oil when hot, and place venison pieces on the grill so they are not touching. The bacon will kick up some flames, so be ready. Grill, turning occasionally, until the bacon becomes slightly burnt, 15 to 20 minutes. The slower, the better. Dig in, and prepare to want more!

GRILLED VENISON BITES (DEER BALLS) (CAJUN)



Grilled Venison Bites (Deer Balls) (Cajun) image

When you serve these up, the joke is; you have to kill a lot of deer to get this many ;o). Of course, they aren't really deer family jewels--they are actually bite size pieces of deer back strap or tenderloin. I got this recipe from a Cajun gentleman I hunt with in Haughton LA named Claude. I "guarunteeee", even people who say they don't like venison will eat a plate full of these. I prefer to use Tony Cachere's Cajun seasoning, thin cut bacon, zesty Italian dressing, and cook them over mesquite, but any wood or charcoal will do. Enjoy!

Time 35m

Yield 20 balls, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb venison
1 lb bacon
16 ounces Italian dressing
1 -2 tablespoon Tony Chachere's Seasoning

Steps:

  • Cut venison into bite size bits.
  • Cut bacon into 3-4 inch pieces. You may even want to cut the bacon strips in half, length-wise first, depending on the width of the bacon.
  • Wrap each chunk of meat with a piece of bacon, using a tooth pick to hold in place.
  • Place wrapped venison in a plastic bag and cover with dressing. Marinate over night.
  • Place marinated deer balls on plate and sprinkle with seasoning.
  • Grill until bacon is crisp, turning often. I found the easiest way is to use a fish basket, that way you can turn them all over at once. Another way is to use a skewer. No mater what method you use, watch for flare ups, since the oil in the Italian dressing will cause quite a blaze if you don't keep an eye on it. I walked away one time to get a beer and when I came back my balls were burnt to a crisp.

GRILLED VENISON AND VEGETABLES

My husband enjoys hunting, and it's my challenge to find new ways to serve venison. This recipe makes hearty kabobs perfect for grilling. The marinade reduces the "wild" taste, so guests often don't realize they're eating venison. -Eva MiIler-Videtich, Cedar Springs, Michigan

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of venison: For grilled venison bites, use a tender cut like backstrap, tenderloin, or sirloin. These cuts will cook quickly and evenly, resulting in juicy and flavorful bites.
  • Marinate the venison: Marinating the venison before grilling helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. Use a marinade made with olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Cook the venison over high heat: Grilling the venison over high heat will help to sear the outside of the meat while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Cook the venison for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the venison rest before serving: After grilling, let the venison rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful bites.

Conclusion:

Grilled venison bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. By following these tips, you can ensure that your venison bites are tender, juicy, and flavorful. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
