Im trying to get my fiance to try some back straps tonight[up] i had it soaking in a Worcestershire sauce pepper, powder garlic, bay leaf and some other ingredients over night.I plane on pan frying it in some butter mushrooms and onions[up] Do you think this will take some of the game out. i dont wanna ruin her forever from deer meat open to any suggestion[up]
 
just say its grass fed beef. I dont think you will have a problem with the back straps. It the tougher cuts that usually present a problem. IMO the rarer you can stand it the better. It dries out very fast. I do not marinate my back straps at all just salt pepper and garlic powder.
 
Over cooking it will give it more of a game taste. Always cook venison one done-ness less than you would beef unless you already eat beef rare. If you like medium rare beef, try rare venison.
This is really great advice. The first time I did backstraps, I was so afraid I would screw them up. I researched temperatures for grilling and what not online, and cooked it to just under med. rare (which is how I prefer my beef). It was hands down better than any expensive cut of beef I have had.
 
Was this a fresh deer properly dressed or one of those recovered the next day with aroma[cry] Wrap some bacon around it that should do it[hihi]If you leave it in the fridge for a few days it will bleed out and may be more to your liking. Cook your shrooms and onions separately and grill bambi
 
Good choice for a newbie to cook the loins.. cook it rare and slice it thin.. Soaking meat in a brine helps also. Usually vinegar based brine recipes like the ones you soak a turkey or a chicken in make it nice.
 
Here is by far the best I had loin....chunk loin into pieces...wrap each piece in Bacon and toothpick, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt/pepper, grill to medium inside, brush melted butter on each piece, serve!
Follow this exactly and I guarantee you will have her eating it. My wife and kids love it[up]

Try it even though u marinated it....
 
I had the same problem with an old girlfriend. Take the backstraps and cut about 1/2" thick and pound down a little on the coutner to soften them up. First put in some egg mixed with milk and salt and pepper and then into bread crumbs and fry in oil in a frying pan. She will love them and definitely will not tasta game'y. Then go from there with the next dinner...
