Title: Venison Backstraps & Lobster Tails
Post by: tatonka3a2 on August 18, 2012, 06:44:27 PM
Started with 2 venison brackstraps - the sliver skin removed.

Venison that I rubbed with garlic olive oil and seasoned with Tatonka Dust and a little Canadian Steak Seasoning.

Onto the top shelf of the Yoder with just the fan running to help move the smoke along.  The tube smoker filled with Hickory pellets with a nice smoke rolling along the venison.  Smoked for an hour with no heat.

Fired up the Yoder to 500° and threw the venison on to the grill grates when they were nice and hot.

For the sides - some mixed veggies and garlic toast

And last but not least the lobster tails - seasoned with melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and some sea salt.  While the lobster was cooking I spooned over some melted butter.

It's nice to see someone else cook venison loins rare!
You cook them much more & they become shoe leather .
Great idea to cold smoke then sear!

My mom took the backstrap, cut it thin and pounded it thinner..then dredged it in homemade Italian bread crumbs, then eggs, then back in the bread crumbs with lots of gahhlick and fried it. then she added lemons with the juice. It was an old Italian guys recipe, but you just picked  a piece of it up and ate. It was os good. I have made this and it's the bomb. Hard part is getting the backstrap now. All 6 of our deer hunters are gone now. Maybe one fo my boys will help with that tho.Yours looks wonderful. We cooked some on the grill2go about a month ago and it was marinated in Italian dressing. Excellent too.  Pam ; *))

Thanks everyone!  The meal was really good.  I wish I could invite everyone over for cooks like this!

Pam - I dont know if I would allow frying of a backstrap!  I am sure that is illegal in some states.    :D
