Ingredients:

2 X Backstraps from any game meat you desire
1 X Sprig Rosemary (strip spikes off without any stalk)
6 X Chive stalks
1 X Teaspoon minced Garlic
3 X Dessert spoons tomatoe paste
3 X Dessert spoons Masterfoods BBQ sauce
5 X Dessert spoons yellowbox honey
5 X Dessert spoons Masterfoods hickory smokey BBQ marinade
1/2 X Brown sugar
1 X teaspoon Grape seed oil1 X Good slosh fruity Red wine, leave some for cooking as well. So do not drink all the remainder of wine :wink:


Method for Marinade:

Add all dry ingredients into pestel & mortar & grind away into paste with Grape seed oil. Place all ingredients into large dish (tupperware marinade dish works a treat) cover. Place into fridge over night.

Cooking Instructions:

Use backing dish that has real air tight seal or use alfoil for this. Best results if using gas on stove top. Place backing dish on stove top & get smoking hot with very small wipping of oil into pan. Place backstrap into baking dish a seal for a couple of minutes, just until you seal whole lot of backstrap.
TIP:
Do this quickly, it's not to actually cook anything it's just to seal in liquids of meat. More so with venison as it has such little fat content.
Pour in 1 X cup of remainder Red wine (now you can drink the rest :wink: ) Cover with air tight seal & place into oven pre-heated to 220° for 10 to 12 mins. Remove from backing dish & allow to rest for 5 to 10 mins before carving backstrap. Slice into just under 1/2" medalions.
Serve this with some good old mashed spuds & green beans & another bottle of wine. Also good idea to have good crusty bread to soak up all the juices. Enjoy :wink:

Had this same recipe at the QLD Bowhuntes Vid night the other night. It was cooked in a slightly different style ie: BBQ but all ingredients are same used as above. I am sure who tried this recipe the other night certainly enjoyed it.

Boys and girls,
I know i am at times prone to exaggeration, but i find it hard to recall tasting a better meat dish in my whole life. the combination of sight, smell and taste was absolutely nothing short of exquisite.
I have never before eaten any meat so tender that fell apart in my mouth like these backstrap medallions.

If you don't believe me, ask anyone present. They didn't last more than about 2 minutes.
