venison backstraps

[BigPosey]

Does anyone have a good receipt for deer backstraps? What temp and how long should i smoke them? Victor

Those are usually extremely lean. I usually just grill them like steaks myself.

I have not done venison backstraps, but you could always cold smoke them for a couple of hours and then grill them.

Good idea.

I'm going to tell you how I do backstraps. Until the food police come and tell you their way which is always better after I tell you mine.

Rub the backstrap with CYM, then season with your favorite rub, drape thin sliced bacon over everything in a criss cross pattern, season again lightly. Preheat Smoker to 225-230 degrees. Apply 2 hours of Hickory smoke. Watch your IT, as you want to pull the  backstop inthe 142-145 range. Tent foil over the backstrap for 10-20 minutes to rest. Then slice and serve.

I cured a couple backstraps w/ Morton Tenderquick (and some other stuff), applied a Pastrami-esque rub, and hot smoked them.   Pulled when they went past 140°..

These were for some of my hunting colleagues at work.

If you are interested, I will try and find the post.

Well fellas, all I did was rub the backstraps down with olive oil and some home mixed rub that I mixed up. Smoked them for about 2 hrs at 225. This was over Hickory. They turned out awesome. Real moist with great flavor.
