  • Venison backstrap is the cut that everyone is after in the whitetail woods. Some people see big racks when hunting, but I see two strips of red gold floating through the woods waiting to make their way to my freezer. Everyone has a favorite way to prepare venison backstrap, but this recipe is about as easy and good as it gets.

    Don’t know why this video popped up in my feed. But a guy wearing a Green Bay shirt, drinkin a mixed drink at 11am cooking venison, deserves a full view!

    I stopped using salt on all my dry rubs especially when smoking. Salt draws moisture. It drys out meat. If you're lacking salt I'd highly recommend salting the mushrooms and onions while you're cooking it and not the meat. My smoked brisket game has changed entirely since I stopped using salt on the meat

    • @geminiridgeoutdoors5354
      @geminiridgeoutdoors5354  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      When I add salt I try to cook immediately or wait up to 40 minutes. Basically with cooking right away, I’m not giving osmosis time to take action. Or wait 40 minutes plus and wait for the moisture to be reabsorbed. It’s a big piece of meat….I’m not sure the salted onions would do it for me. Appreciate the tip and thanks for watching.

At 87 I’m comfortable in my ground blind now ..And in the future my cuts will be a lot thicker . Have you looked into cooking the SOUS VIDE method. It supposed to cook those rear leg quarters like prime rib..You cook your meat in a vacuum sealed bag in water at a constant 132°+/- ,, then sear it with cast iron, grill, broil, or use a blow torch.. So, cut those 1” steaks 🥩 from now on LOL

    • @geminiridgeoutdoors5354
      @geminiridgeoutdoors5354  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Definitely. The ending of the video where I talk about pan searing it was more an example of what you could do if one or two people in the house wanted it done more, while everybody else liked it done less. I suppose you could just throw the remaining larger piece back in, but I would think that is difficult to accomplish because you would be heating and cooling twice.

    I'm a big fan of the reverse sear....cover in spice rub of your choice, put in a low oven until you reach 5 degrees below your desired temp( 125 if you're looking for medium rare). Take it out, let it rest a few minutes, then sear all sides in a ripping hot cast iron skillet. This take is up a few more degrees, let it rest again. Works like a champ...medium rare edge to edge.

      I kinda sneak it in there I believe around the 5 minute mark when I’m searing the meat. 425 degrees. Good luck. Just make sure that back strap is room temp before you start the process. Thanks for watching.

    Can you tell me what brand electric thermometer you use? I purchased one (ThermPro) but I can’t set it for 133 as the lowest temp it will go is 165. Thanks~

    • @geminiridgeoutdoors5354
      @geminiridgeoutdoors5354  ปีที่แล้ว

      Mine is a Taylor. That weird it won’t go below 165. Whoever made that thermometer doesn’t want people enjoying meat. Is it made by PETA? Thanks for watching and good luck when you get that thermometer. Just remember to start the entire process with the meat and room temp. If cold it will not rise to temp in the oven and then spike drastically at the end. I’ve made the mistake.

    Venison BackStraps don't ever get that big on a deer.
    I don't know if you got this from a moose or elk but I doubt they would be that big either.
    I'm guessing you are cooking deer Lion.

    • @geminiridgeoutdoors5354
      @geminiridgeoutdoors5354  ปีที่แล้ว

      I promise you it is a center cut strap off a central wisconsin whitetail deer. I wish it was an elk or moose back strap. Im hoping to bring some of that home next year from Colorado. However, this is a whitetail.

    Waaaaay too much seasoning. Why do people (restaurants included) ruin good meat with so much seasoning??

    • @geminiridgeoutdoors5354
      @geminiridgeoutdoors5354  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The rub I made will make this 4-5 times. It’s a rub on a thick piece of meat which to me, requires seasoning. If you don’t cook with salt…we’ll that’s a life I’m not sure is worth livin’ for me. That’s for watching sir.

    • @geminiridgeoutdoors5354
      @geminiridgeoutdoors5354  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. If I remember correctly it was a quarter cup of salt? I will say that I use the rub mix to do this at least 5 or 6 times. Not to mention what I lose on the cutting board. It’s a large piece of meat for a Midwest whitetail and the only seasoning is on the outside. But of course one can always use less or any combo of their favorite rub. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment.

    Do you brine or marinade? Overnight? What temp should the oven be?

    • @geminiridgeoutdoors5354
      @geminiridgeoutdoors5354  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For a back strap I don’t feel brining is necessary. Great flavor and tenderness in its simplest form. Oven temp at 450 deg. Hope you try it and thanks for watching!

    • @geminiridgeoutdoors5354
      @geminiridgeoutdoors5354  ปีที่แล้ว

      Vegetable oil has a much higher smoke point than coconut oil which is essential to searing the meat quickly and not burning the oil. If you don’t want to use vegetable oil, that’s fine, just don’t use coconut oil and expect the same results. Thanks for watching.

  • @shug2795
    @shug2795 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Bud.....where did the pan go that you seared the venison in?!?!? THAT has the best base/flavor for you to do your onions, mushrooms, etc. Finally, you deglaze with a quality wine - not something that's been sitting around or something cheap that will ruin all of this effort, especially when it comes to a rare offering like a back-strap! I might have picked a nice Syrah/Shiraz because it has peppery notes that would elevate something like this gem. You might not drink however that coke or pepsi is a drink. I'd pair that with the rest of the Syrah I purchased just for this recipe. Oh my.....mmmmm!!! JMO Thanks for sharing!

    • @geminiridgeoutdoors5354
      @geminiridgeoutdoors5354  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I prefer whiskey over wine so I don’t tend to spend much money on reds in my house. I always use fresh wine but I’d be lying if I told you I know what “quality” wine is. lol. But I will try it next time. Not using the pan has also been remedied when I make this at home. Gotta get that fond! Thanks for watching and appreciate the feedback!

    • @shug2795

      My pleasure Sir! I like single malts as well but they have a restricted application in the kitchen. I use a cast iron pan in order to attain AND retain the heat I prefer for searing. The best part is, that same cast iron pan can go right into the oven. WEAR an oven mitt!! 😁
