Stuffed Venison Backstrap

Stuffed Venison Backstrap

Ingredients:
– 1-2 Whole Venison Backstraps (loin)
– 8oz Cream Cheese
– 8oz Baby Portabella Mushrooms chopped
– ¼ cup Crumbled Bacon (about 6 slices)
– 1 small Yellow Onion diced
– 2 Tablespoons Bacon Drippings
– ½ cup Flat leaf Parsley chopped
– 2lbs Bacon
– 2 Tablespoons Killer Hogs AP Rub
– 2 Tablespoons Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub

Directions:
1. Prepare Pellet Smoker or any other bbq grill for indirect cooking at 350⁰. Add your favorite wood to the hot coals for smoke flavor. In the pellet grill I use a combination of Pecan, Oak, and Cherry cooking pellets.
2. To prepare the stuffing sauté onions and mushrooms in bacon drippings over medium heat. Add to room temperature cream cheese. Fold in crumbled bacon and parsley.
3. Trim excess silver skin from venison backstraps and cut a slit down the length to butterfly it open. Be careful not to cut through the entire piece.
4. Season with Killer Hogs AP rub and stuff with cream cheese mixture.
5. Wrap the outside with strips of bacon and season with Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub.
6. Place each backstrap on a wire cooling rack and set on the smoker.
7. Cook until internal temperature reaches 130 degrees or your desired doneness. The bacon should be brown on the outside.
8. Allow the backstrap to rest for 10 minutes and cut into individual pieces for serving.
