    Backstrap with mushroom risotto

    I normally get my backstraps butterflied from the the processor. Had them left whole this time to try some different things. It’s the only way from here in out.



    Risotto: in a sauce pan bring chicken stock to a simmer I usually use about 3 or 4 cups leave in simmer on back burner. cut baby portobellos sauté in olive oil until they’re pretty soft. Add in a minced shallot and a clove or two of minced garlic switch to low heat until shallot is translucent. Set shallot mushroom and garlic aside in a bowl. Add a little more oil and add in 3/4c short grain rice. Sauté the rice on medium heat until it slightly browns on edges. Deglaze pan with white wine. Add in stock 1 ladle at a time stirring constantly as it’s absorbed by the rice continue to do this until your rice is Al dente. Add mushrooms garlic and shallot back to rice and a 1/4 c of chopped parsley and some steakhouse or all purpose seasoning. Add 1/4 c heavy cream and 1/3c grated Parmesan.

    Pellet grilled the seasoned Backstrap to 130 degrees and let it rest.

    Hands down the best wild game dish I have made. Pair it with a good red wine

      I always leave mine whole. It’s a lot more flexible with what you can do this way, and both of these justify it. They sound amazing!

        I do that one too with mushrooms in the sauce and I use the pellet grill and an iron skillet

          Looks amazing.

          I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve eaten risotto, mainly because it does very little for me. But the recipe you included looks like it has a strong mix of robust flavors, enough so that I plan to give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

                When you pellet grill the backstrap, do you wrap in aluminum foil to keep moisture in, or cook on the rack the whole time?

                Thanks.

                    No just hot and fast and cook by temperature not time. 125 is probably the lowest temp I’d stop at but would never go higher than 135. I did not let the meat come to room temp before I cooked it like I would a steak and you see how evenly it cooked. For a very lean cut it was very juicy. I seasoned with a prime rib seasoning of course salt and pepper with some garlic and onion in it.

                            You failed to mention the first degree burn you get on your lip sampling the risotto to see if it’s ready yet 😂 I do it about every other time I make risotto…just never learn to let it cool enough.
