Venison Backstrap, Morels n Wild Onions

cowgirl · Apr 23, 2015

One of my favorite spring meals... venison, morels mushrooms and wild onions.
This year I was lucky enough to find a few morels.

dried most of them in the smokehouse...

marinated a few smaller ones...

butterflied a piece of whitetail backstrap saved from rifle season.. gave it a one hour quick cure with TQ.

gathered some wild onions...

sautéed the shrooms and onions in butter...

rinsed the backstrap and topped with the cooled shrooms and onions...

wrapped with a bacon weave to hold everything in place...

into the drum til done...

served with extra morels n onions....

That's it! Another simple meal... it's one of my favorites.

Sorry for so many photos, but thanks for looking!

I've never seen those shrooms till I saw em in one of your posts. The are definitely different and I bet they taste great. I'll have to hit up one of my friends in Ardmore to see if he has any on his property. Backstrap is always a favorite! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Titch! Yes morels are mushrooms. The growing season is short so they are kind of hard to find at times.
The wild onions are nice, I look forward to them each spring. :thumb:
