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.

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 TENDERLOIN (BACKSTRAP)
This is a great recipe for backstrap. I found it on another cooking site and decided that it needed to be shared with the Zaar. It takes about 5 hours of marinading time. These also work well as an appetizer.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of venison: For grilling, tenderloin or backstrap are the best cuts. They are lean and flavorful, and they cook quickly.
- Trim the venison: Remove any silver skin or connective tissue from the venison before cooking. This will help the meat cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Marinate the venison: Marinating the venison in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize the meat and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme is a good option.
- Cook the venison over high heat: Venison is a lean meat, so it is important to cook it over high heat to prevent it from drying out. Grill the venison over direct heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
- Let the venison rest before serving: After cooking, let the venison rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Conclusion:
Grilled venison tenderloin or backstrap is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. By following these tips, you can ensure that your venison steak is cooked to perfection. So fire up your grill and enjoy this delicious game meat!
