Thank you! now I know what I'm cookin' Spiced Grilled Tenderloin. Dinner in 30 minutes

 

[yoda4x4]

And just to be on the specific side. There are two types of tenderloins: Outer and Inner. The outers are located along the spine on the outside of the animal. They are generally longer and wider than the inners. But, the inners are typically the most tasty/tender meat on the deer, with the outers being a second.

Hope this helps... probably more than you needed.

no...tenderloin is not the same as a back strap....the strap is on the back and the tenderloin is up inside the deer along the spine...they are usually smalll and need to be taken out asap so the dont dry out

Backstraps are some time refered to as tenderloin but there is only one true tenderloin and that comes from the inside. It would be the fillet mignon if it were a cow. The backstraps would be called loin chops if they were on a pig and are called loin chops on a deer as well.

Ive always been told that the TenderLoins are inside and the backstraps are on the back ( strap)

 

[Deerseason Widow]

Oh well, they are seasoned and on the grill now no matter what I'm cookin'. LOL they just better eat it! Can you tell the "hunter" and the person with the knowledge of the meat wasn't home???LOL

You are right, the backstrap area is a butchers cut "TenderLoins"= Loin chops.

 

[El Jefe]

Tenderloins is one think and back straps are completely something different. The tendeloin should always be pulled out as soon as you gut the deer. You can use your fingers to do it. The back strap is two pieces running on each side of the top of the spine.

 

[mysticguido]

a lot of dishes that calls for tenderloins, the backstraps can be used. Any piece of meat can be used for that matter.

 

[Dawgs]

they are both excellent to eat

 

[Deerseason Widow]

They were great! Little spicy, but 100% devoured.
