The absolute best way to cook your venison backstrap is to reverse sear it. Reverse seared venison backstrap is first slow cooked in an oven (or smoker) until it’s about 15 degrees below your desired target temperature, then it’s finished with a high heat sear in a pan to form a nice outer crust. This method is a far simpler way to hit your target temp without accidentally overcooking the meat. Also, the reverse searing method dries out the surface of the meat in the oven, creating a thin outer coating that’s perfect for quick searing on a hot surface and ensures a golden brown crust. Add a delicious blueberry bourbon pan sauce to the mix, and you’ve got one of the tastiest ways to enjoy your deer meat out there.
Long story short, watch the video, follow the recipe, and tell me how it turns out for you!
