I cooked the onions with garlic in butter until tender, added sherry, capers, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste and a small bit of cornstarch to thicken.

[cowgirl]

Thanks everybody!!
I've been getting a lot of good use out of the deer meat. Made a lot of chili and stew over the winter.
Really love the backstrap steaks though. :grin:

Ohhhhhhhhhh,that looks divine! I gotta try that Tonka Dust.

Superb! A1, Top Knotch! also yummy.

[cowgirl]

Thanks Hometruckin! :mrgreen:

[Mason Dixon Bowhunta]

That looks delicious

[cheapbeer]

I like the fact that you did not cook the venison to be overdone. I see so many people who wont eat it unless it is well done and dry. I like my steaks just warm in the center and juicy. I like to leave the loins in six 0r eight inch chunks and season them , then wrap them in a bacon weave( per your tutorial, thanks) and throw them on the smoker.

[Phesant]

Dang I want some SWSW, CBTM, MMD, & IAFOM

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.......mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Nicely done Jeanie...... Very Nicely Done :grin:

[code3rrt]

That sauce sounds awesome, and the plate looks great.

[beercuer]

Oh deer, what a lovely looking meal, Jeanie! I have yet to try eating venison--have yet to get the chance-- but spying yours sure makes me want to all the more. And your special sauce looks 5 star savory!

[MossyMO]

Great looking meal Jeanie, mouth watering in fact!
We haven't found any wild game the Tatonka Dust doesn't taste great on; venison, pheasant, partridge, grouse, dove and even fish!

Thanks Bowhunta!!

Thank you Cheapbeer! I agree with ya, it needs to be cooked a bit rare for the best flavor. :grin:
I saved some whole backstraps for camping... I'll give the bacon weave a try. Thanks!
