A delectable blend of flavors is created by the crispy bacon surrounding succulent smoked venison tenderloin. The deer backstrap's natural flavor is enhanced by the savory dry rub, which makes it a delightful dish for any outdoor gathering.
Ingredients: 1 deer backstrap venison tenderloin. 1 pound bacon. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 2 tablespoons black pepper. 2 tablespoons garlic powder. 1 tablespoon onion powder. 1 tablespoon paprika. 1 teaspoon salt. Wood chips for smoking.
Instructions: Preheat the smoker to 225F 107C using wood chips for flavor. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt to create the dry rub. Rub the deer backstrap with the prepared dry rub, ensuring it is evenly coated. Wrap the backstrap with bacon slices, securing them with toothpicks. Place the bacon-wrapped deer backstrap on the smoker rack. Smoke at 225F 107C for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 130F 54C for medium-rare. Allow the smoked venison tenderloin to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
