Venison Backstrap Recipe - Marinated and Grilled Venison Backstrap

In this recipe, we will take the tender backstrap of the venison and turn it into a mouthwatering meal. The marinade infuses the meat with rich flavors, making each bite juicy and delectable. Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients

2 pounds venison backstrap
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper
Salt, to taste

Instructions

Begin by preparing the marinade. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, black pepper, and salt. Make sure all ingredients are well combined.
Place the venison backstrap in a large resealable plastic bag or a glass dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
When you’re ready to grill, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the backstrap from the marinade and allow any excess to drip off.
Place the venison backstrap on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. It’s important not to overcook venison as it can become tough.
Once cooked, remove the backstrap from the grill and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy bite every time.
Slice the backstrap against the grain and serve it with your favorite sides. Enjoy!

This marinated and grilled venison backstrap is perfect for gatherings or a special dinner. The flavors work beautifully together, elevating the natural taste of the venison while keeping it succulent and tender. Enjoy your culinary adventure!
