I enjoyed this for lunch today. It was supposed to be saved for dinner but I just couldn't wait. I recently had a successful Red Tag hunt so this is the first time I've had venison since it ran out after last hunting season.
1. Sear backstrap over olive oil in a large skillet until browned. Season as needed. ( I like salt and pepper)
2. Preheat oven to 350 deg.
3. Lay strips of bacon out on an aluminum foil covered baking sheet, wide enough to cover the backstrap. Place backstrap over top of the bacon and wrap the bacon up over the meat, securing it with toothpicks to keep the strips in place. the idea is to cover the entire backstrap with the bacon.
4. Sprinkle additional seasoning over bacon if desired.
5. Insert a meat thermometer into the center of the cut and slow cook the meat until its temp reads around 140-145 for medium rare.
6. Once cooked, turn the oven to Broil and watch the bacon crisp.
7. Once bacon is crisped, remove the meat from oven and let it sit for several minutes for the juices to set up.
