At Camp Chef we want to encourage people to get outside to enjoy a breath of fresh air and while you're at it share a few meals each other, bond a little. We know many people harvest their own meat and that's why we want to share one of our favorite wild game backstrap recipes.

1 pound Elk or deer backstrap (or tenderloin)

2 cloves of garlic

Butter

Fresh Rosemary

Coarse salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil

Step 1

Lightly coat backstrap with olive oil then add salt and pepper.

Step 2

Preheat pellet grill to 225 °F and smoke backstrap until internal temperature reaches 100 °F.

step 3

In a small pot or pan melt 4 tablespoons of butter with 1 sprig of rosemary and 1 clove of garlic. Let butter simmer for 3-5 minutes to make a garlic herb butter. Set aside, and use with final dish.
