I'm looking for a good marinade for some venison backstraps. I prefer not wrapping them in bacon as I don't want them to taste like bacon. Any ideas or suggestions?
A little Oil, a little Soy Sauce, a little Beer, Brown sugar, Onion, Garlic, Pepper, and seasoned salt. put it all in a ziplock bag and massage it into the meat and let it sit a few hours.
I'd go with something simple and since you aren't using a bacon wrap, for moistness you might try an oven bag with some holes poked in it to let the smoke in! Saw this on one of those outdoor sports programs. Let us know what you finally decide on-I have venison and elk backstraps to make!
We like Jeff's Rub, Cabelas Mountain Man Bourbon, or a lemon pepper rub. I have never used a bag and don't wrap in bacon just pull at 145 IT and it will be very juicy and tender. My dad can't stand to eat red meat so I have taken the last couple to 155 IT and they were still juicy and tender just not as red.
