Tried my hand at reverse searing today. Took a 9" section of backstrap and tried it. This thing turned out amazing.

Ok when I cut my venison up I cut up the backstrap in sections. I took one section of backstrap and used a sweet and smokey generic rub. I generously rubbed down the outside and let the meat soak it up the salt and flavor while the oven was warming. I set the oven to 275. I cooked the meat to an internal temp of 130-140. Pulled the meat out and let it cool down while my cast iron pan was getting hot. Once the pan was really hot I seared each side for a minute to a minute and a half. Then enjoy!

Trying to fine tune it. This was 2 minutes on each side of searing. The bottom side cooked a little more than the top. Maybe I should flip them in the oven halfway through.
Sorry @elkguide i failed to let you know again!! The smaller piece on the right was dang near perfect at only 1 min 30sec on each side searing.

Had backstrap on the grill last night and deer burgers on the grill tonight. Something about some great venison that makes my mouth water.

I had the most amazing backstrap come off my egg smoker fired up to 600 degrees.
First I dipped it in whiskey, then sprinkled dry mustard,salt and pepper. Throw some pecan chips in the smoker and On the grill a few minutes on each side. It looked similar to the first pic in this thread.
Man it was good!!!

I'm gonna do similar next time but try the reverse sear idea.

Me to. I eat it a couple times a week. I love knowing where my meat came from. I am the only one who touches it. I cut up all my own meat.
