Sous Vide Backstrap, Pan Sauce with Chanterelles....

[indaswamp]

With all the wet weather we have been having here since mid-May, the Chanterelle mushrooms are popping up...I actually missed the first flush as there were a lot of very large, yet old mushrooms. But I did manage to find enough to make the trip worth while...about 2#...only bad thing....the mosquitoes almost carried me away! LOL! Wow were they BAD!

Large chanterelle that is a little too far gone. Should have been there 10 days ago to pick them....

Now the meal. I called my Cousin and told him of my find. He said-yep! I am in. I told him ribeyes or sous vide venison....either is fine by me. He chose sous vide venison.

Prepping the Venison Backstrap for second sear...cut into 2" streaks...

Torch and butter finish on one side...

Then flip and torch the other side...

Might would have used the grill, but it was raining buckets so we went with the torch.



Now the plate:

Cooked perfectly...melt in your mouth like a Filet Mignon! Home run meal tonight!

No wine tonight...cousin gave it up because of cancer. A nice Cabernet Sauvignon would have been excellent though!

YUM, that looks epic!!!
Chanterelles are one of my favorite shrooms, I wish I had the places and drive to hunt them still.

Another awesome cook! I've never hunted chanterelles. Anymore as bad as the ticks are here I haven't hunted ramps or morels either.

Thank you FT! I'm hoping we get timely rains to keep them popping all summer long.

Thank you jcam! You should have seen the mosquitos! I took a lot of bites to pick those shrooms! LOL! I forgot bug spray! Won't make that mistake again...bug spray is now in my shroom backpack.

Nailed it, looks excellent !

Keith, that is an amazing meal. So awesome!! Damn bro, you never half a$$ anything! Sure wish I knew on wild mushrooms…

We have some acreage here locally with a creek flowing thru… but drier humidity and higher elevation! Any chance they grow here?!

I'm not sure of range of the chanterelle mushroom. I know there are several subspecies that are edible. Best advise I can give you is to locate a mushroom foraging club locally and you can find out what grows in the area and they can show you how to identify many mushrooms so you don't get sick.

Oh- And thanks for the kind words. I love good food man.....curse of a super taster.

Looks GREAT! I have gone to cooking all my backstrap as whole muscle chunks the last couple years and haven't looked back. Although I don't have a Sous Vide "YET" and never thought of doing something like you with whole muscle cooked then steak out and sear. I didn't get out to look for morel mushrooms this year but the way our weather was I imagine whatever did come up was quickly done, just not much moisture this year then we went from 40-50 degrees to 80-90 degrees and have stayed there since Memorial Day weekend.
