Grilled Venison Backstrap
Grilled Venison Backstrap might be It will be a hit at your The Fourth Of July event. If you have apple cider, venison backstrap, barbecue sauce, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the apple cider you could follow this main course with the Apple Cider Doughnut Cake as a dessert. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes about 5 hours and 15 minutes.
Instructions
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!
