Smoked Venison Back Strap Medallion Suggestions?

[Jcotrel1]

I have back strap medallions that I'm going to marinate and wrap with a piece of bacon. But I was thinking about throwing a smoke on it before finishing on the grill.

Any suggestions on time and temp before finishing on the grill?

Thanks in advance!

If your medallions are not too thin, >1", a reverse sear would be great. Smoke the medallions at 180-225, until the IT hits 100°F. Then a Screaming HOT Grill, will sear and finish to your desired temp. I like an IT of 120-125° tops...JJ

Thanks JJ! That's exactly what I have. About 1" thick cuts.

JJ nailed it, exactly how I'd do them.
