I have a few but here is my favorite.
Depends on how many people eating so I will do a serving of two.
From the backstrap take two pieces about 6" long and cut a slit in the center lengthwise so there is a whole in the backstrap running lengthwise.
Tie of one end with butcher twine.
Grade peeperjack cheese
Chop Bell peppers and mushrooms mix with cheese about a total of 1 cup worth for two backstraps.
Stuff the backstrap with mixture and tie of other end with butchers twine.
Rap and tie with butcher twine three pieces of backon per backstrap.
(Optional) soak in your favorite marinade. Sometime I do sometimes I Don't I use different ones never the same.
Heat barbyque on low if gas or 8-9: inches above charcoal and slow rost the straps. It should take about 40 minutes to cook and turn constantly to prevent flame up from the backon. (Do not close the lid or you will have some flaming backstraps)
Remove backon and butchers twin and serve with your favorite vegetable or potatoes. Also goes great with Pacifica beer.

Elk Marsala. Nothing secret about this. Use any recipe for veal marsala, but substitute elk instead. Pound elk into thin cutlets with meat mallet, and soak overnight in milk, then follow the recipe.

I do pretty much the same thing with any and all game meat (elk, deer, and antolope). Take well trimmed thin cuts and pound them out between two sheets of plastic wrap or two plastic bags (less splatter that way) and cook them as you would any veal recipe...veal marsala, veal piccata, veal parmajean, etc. Moose, my favorite, I treat just like beef.

Ok. I just tried this recipe two weeks ago. I'll admit that I Googled it because I was looking for something different and this definately is it. This immediately became my favorite venison recipe because it is simply INCREDIBLE!

Venison Philly cheese steak. Just started making these not too long ago
and they are good.

1/2 fatty sliced beef mixed with 1/2 Venison all thin sliced.
Soak the venison in buttermilk overnight (optional).
The rest is just like any other philly cheese steak recipe with onions, green peppers and provolone cheese.
I season the meat with salt, pepper and Chef Paul Prudommes Vegetable Magic seasoning and into a hot skillet with
olive oil.
His other seasonings are good too.
You can use 100% venison but its pretty dry.
If you have a moose handy, no need for Beef.

Venison over rice with gravy.
Really easy to make....

Cut up 1# venison into about 1/2" to 3/4" chunks.
Soak it in buttermilk overnight (optional).
Salt, Pepper, and Chef Paul Prudommes Vegetable Magic seasoning
1/2 large chopped onion.
Sliced Mushrooms
Saute/Sear in a very very hot frying pan in Olive oil, like almost on high.
When it is browned on all sides take off the heat and add 1/2 to 1 jar of
Franco American Slow Roast Gravy.
You can make your own gravy, but this gravy has a nice Roast Beef Flavor which I like
and no MSG and its cheap.

Simmer for an hour or two.
Serve Over rice.

Ground Venison makes great lean hamburger if you mix it 50/50 with cheap ground beef.
25# of ground venison plus 25# of cheap burger and I am set for the year with burger.

Here's one of my favorites:

Take a venison backstrap.

Cut angled slices 1/2" thick.

Pound out flat and thin with a meat mallet.

Dip in a bowl of Teryaki sauce.

Lay flat and sprinkle top with garlic powder.

Place a clump of cream cheese and a clump of venison breakfast sauage in the center.

Roll up and wrap with a thick cut piece of maple or hickory bacon.

Pin it all in place with two wooden toothpicks and place on preheated grill.

Grill until the cream cheese starts oozing out of the end.

Sit back and smile as you realize most people in the world will never eat this good!
