If grilling in a cast iron grill pan, cut the backstrap in half to fit in the grill pan. Heat the grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly spray with avocado oil. Place the backstrap down and do not touch for 7 minutes. Flip and repeat. Grab the Recipe!

Remove from grill pan and allow to rest on a clean plate, covered with tinfoil for about 5-10 minutes for juices to redistribute. Meat will continue to cook as it rests. Slice into medallions and serve. Grab the Recipe!

Brining or marinating venison through acidic means or in a buttermilk solution, will help to remove the gamey flavor. The backstrap, I liken to filet mignon on beef. It is tender, juicy, and best served on the rare side. Grab the Recipe!
