+1 to all of the above...
make sure the silver membrane is removed..
be careful if try to cook it low/slow.. almost no fat in the backstrap.. youll dry it out if you dont watch it closely..
I prefer to cook it hot/fast.. on either a very hot grill (450+) or country fry them on the stove..
My favorite way to prepare is to cut the backstrap into medallions.. tenderize the hell out of them (i.e. beat the crap out of them with a tenderizing hammer).. soak them in buttermilk.. then bread them with flour, pepper and a couple of other secret ingredients.. then pan fry them....
Damn.. now Im hungry for deer.. gotta go pull some out of the freezer so I can have a mid day snack
