I need some tips on getting backstrap a bit more tender. Cooked some last week, medium rare as always and while delicious, was just a bit more chewy than usual. yall doing anything extra to tenderize??
Salt it way ahead of time and put it in the fridge uncovered on a ceramic plate. Just salt, coat the whole hunk of meat. And don’t be super shy about it. Give it at least 2 hours in the fridge, then add whatever other seasonings you want and put it back in said fridge. Then go pretty much right from the fridge to the grill or whatever you’re cooking on. Look up “salt brining” or “dry brining” and that’s what you’re doing. Scientifically proven to be the best marinade for maintaining tenderness and juiciness.I need some tips on getting backstrap a bit more tender.

In recognition of the 15 deg temps with -5 windchill today, tonight will be a new chili recipe. We’ll see how it turns out in about 30 min.

Some deer are just harder to chew than others.
One thing I found that makes a difference is aging vacuum sealed backstraps (wet age) in the refrigerator. You can really tell a difference by 10-14 days.

I’m going to need to add something to my recipe. First time I had it I thought it was light and refreshing, but these days no matter how much spice and fresh tears I put in, it just seems like something is missing.One of the pricier soups on the menu.

My 15 yr old son made me back strap with a mushroom and red wine sauce along with air fryer sweet potatoes this evening for my birthday. It was delicious.
