Breaded Backstraps.

brutus54 · Aug 3, 2024

My favorite way to eat deer backstraps. Dip them up in eggs seasoned flour then fry them up. With mashed potatoes, kernel corn, and smothered in country gravy. I made extra so I can freeze it in seal a meal bags. And take them on my Colorado muzzle loader deer hunt next month. I’ll be eating good around the fire.

That’s one of my go tos when I’m cooking for hunters. I haven’t had a complaint yet!

I like to add corn meal and a little garlic powder to the flour

Yes, I put them in Seal a Meal boil bag’s make sure all the air is out of them. And just put them in boiling water for a little bit and you’re good to go. Or a microwave.

Running them through a cubing machine adds another culinary factor to the equation.

I add corn starch to flour and spices instead of the corn meal. Sticks better as it is more like flour.. doesn't fall off and muck up your grease as much. A pinch of salt and hot sauce ( crystal is a fave) after it comes out of fry-daddy. Dang I'm going to thaw an elk steak and make some!!! Thanks

Thanks for the idea. I do have a mallet. But that definitely looks like the way to go. How hard are they to clean?

Dishwasher takes care of it.

Even if you don't have a cuber, almost all cuts of meat benefit from a few pokes with a blade-type tenderizer. A mallet works well also. I used to cringe watching my wife pound chicken breasts on the granite counter top. Took forever to train her to use a cutting board!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jaccard blade tenderizer works well - on a cutting board!
