Tried something new

[cahunter805]

This was a piece of elk backstrap I made for a party a few months ago. I forgot to take a picture of it finished because it was literally gone in a few minutes. It was wrapped completely with the bacon.
I butterfly cut a pocket into it. Applied seasoning inside and out to the backstrap rubbed with olive oil. Sautéed chopped onions and jalapeños. Mixed them with cream cheese and stuffed it. Wrapped with bacon. Smoked it for an hour on the Treager and then finished it on the Oak BBQ pit until medium rare and bacon was done.

Thats a great recipe. I do that with deer but I also put sauteed mushrooms in it.

I was going to add mushrooms but forgot to grab them from the store.
Next time I will for sure.

That's my favorite way to cook hog backstraps. I usually marinate overnight in Worcestershire and zesty Italian.

Damn that looks good

Fun!!

I've done the same many times, just without the onions and peppers. One of my favorites. I'll have to try it with the veggies next time.
