Jalapeno Stuffed Tenderloin

[WyoDoug]

This recipe is not wild game per se, but who says it can't be??? I think this will be delicious cooked with elk, deer, moose, antelope or any wild game tenderloin.

It can be done and it’s amazing! Elk backstrap. I didn’t get a finished picture as it was devoured in less than a few minutes.

Looks delish!

I just did a deer backstrap like that last weekend. Very good.

If you're using backstrap, would you want to pre-cook the bacon a tad to ensure it is cooked all the way? I like my backstrap on the rare side, but my bacon crispy. Thoughts?

This looks awesome and I love Jalapenos!

I do this when cooking bacon for a recipe! I like rare meat but crispy bacon! So i used the cooked bacon to my advantage!

Sear it until bacon is crisp then cook so internal temp is about 140 for rare

140 is much closer to medium, and typically too well done for game meat

I am betting a version of this that I did with stuffed pork chops would work which is bread crumbs, cream cheese, high-temp cheddar, jalapenos and onions would really be good. If I get antelope this year, I might smoke one and treat my hunting buddies to something that they can't take just one piece of.

Probably right. I go off a chart I have on my smoker and never can remember the correct temps so I look them up each time, even when I cook in the oven.

Broil it for the last 5 or so mins

I think that is a back strap. They always misname it.

I would have to disagree. I buy pork tenderloin all the time and seen some big ones. Pork back straps are considerably bigger. Depends on the hog breed. Some are huge in comparison to others.

It was so good.

Now no fair teasing and not sharing.
