My deer processor was working on the doe I shot recently and asked how I wanted the backstraps (loin) done. He said a lot of people had recently been asking for them whole, or just cut into foot long pieces for grilling. Hmmmmm, OK, I'll try that! Well, last night I put 4 pieces in an Italian oil & vinegar dressing marinade in the fridge, and this afternoon I fired up the grill and cooked them over low heat. I must say it made a good lunch! I only ate two or three pounds, mind you, but even with that light snack I was impressed

And we even have some left for tomorrow's lunch!

I have cut out whole, then cut in half before freezzing. Then I just slice em, marinade em and grill em.... Yum Yum

Just finished lunch. Took what was left over of the backstraps, sliced it paper thin im my slicer, and ate it in a plain old sandwich. Not sure if it was better fresh & hot, or sliced cold

Guess I'll just have to shoot another deer to get more to test before I can recommend a recipe

Next time wrap them back straps in bacon and stick tooth picks in to hold the bacon to it . Mighty tasty . Just somethin diffrent to try .
