Prepwork for Thursday Luncheon

[6pt-Sika]

We’re having the usual Christmas luncheon at the shop Thursday . This year one of the main course dishes will be venison backstrap roast . So I wanted to get it seasoned tonight so it had all day Wednesday and Wednesday night to take in the seasoning before I cook Thursday morning . I’ve got four big slabs to cook for the luncheon but I took a piece I usually trim away and discard and had for dinner tonight . I like Cajun seasoning so that’s what I typically use and tonight was no different . Got my cast iron skillet heated up and butter melted on top the stove two minutes on each side and into the oven for six minutes at 375 . Took it out and had pork n beans , pineapple and cheddar cheese . Was rather tastey if I say so myself

Naturally Thursday to bake those larger pieces they’ll stay in longer than six minutes !

The 2 minutes a side in the skillet then 6-12 minutes in the oven is a breeze . Simplicity in cooking is a definite plus . Now with that being said I’d like to stack about half a dozen slicks (doe) up for the freezer . And optimum would be to brain them all so the hearts aren’t blown to heck . The backstraps the fish and the heart are my favs , the rest for stew or burger/sausage

Wrap those bad boys in bacon. Pan fry (cast iron) until bacon is done. Loin will be lovely rare inside. Slice like a loaf of bread and enjoy!!
