Learn how to prepare venison backstrap by stuffing it with a mixture of cream cheese, bacon, mushrooms, onion, and parsley, and then wrapping it in bacon before grilling it on the Traeger. For more barbecue and grilling recipes, visit http://howtobbqright.com/.
The backstrap is the loin of the deer and can be easily butterflied and stuffed with the aforementioned mixture. The bacon wrap additionally adds both flavor and some fat to the usually lean venison meat. The meat should be cooked for approximately half an hour on a smoker heated to 350⁰, with the bacon browning as an indicator of proper cooking. Rest the meat for 5-10 minutes before slicing it into 1” wide steak portions and serving.
For the stuffing, sauté onions and mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings over medium heat, then add the mixture to room temperature cream cheese, along with crumbled bacon and parsley. Trim excess silver skin from venison backstraps and cut a slit down the length to butterfly, but not all the way through. Season the backstraps with Killer Hogs AP rub and stuff them with the cream cheese mixture. Wrap the outside of the backstraps with strips of bacon and season with Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees or your desired doneness, making sure the bacon looks brown on the outside.
