Trim what?

This ain't the Kruel J steak preference thread, goofball.

Tenderize backstrap?

Tenderize backstrap?

Do you know what backstrap is?





P

Sure do! I tenderize any meat that I chicken
Fry. I like it to be able to be cut with a fork.

For a perfect steak, hard to beat Reverse Sear.
Use a Thermapen (or similar) to get the doneness where you want it.

Wait one.

by the way @pharmseller - what was the estimated weight when it was all said and done?

Dunno. 47 pounds of burger, 88 8x11 Foodsaver bags of steak, three servings' worth per bag. Lots.

This backstrap already qualifies as fork tender.

Little known secret for you yanks up here...

if the menu says country fried, in my experience, it isn't worth eating.

Chicken fried venison is insanely good - never had elk done that way but some breading and lard will make cheap meat great so I don't see a down side.


by the way @pharmseller - what was the estimated weight when it was all said and done?

Elk will go close to 50/50 of what's left after field dressing.

Just no okra !
That is one creepy vegetable.
The wife is from the South and loves that stuff.

I went on a cow hunt with my brother a couple of weeks ago, private land meat hunt. Shot a nice cow. We process all our own meat and I just finished the last package of burger. Here's how it all turned out, in terms of Foodsaver packages, boneless portions big enough for two plus a late night snack:

44 packages of round steak (big muscles behind the rear leg)
7 packages of rump
17 packages of backstrap
3 packages of sirloin (big muscles in front of the rear leg)
2 packages of shoulder steak
8 packages of blade roast
7 packages of tenderloin
69 packages of burger (trim from round, sirloin, rib, neck)

That's elk for dinner three times a week for a year.

I'm pretty pleased.

Did a tikka help harvest this cow!?!?!

Duh.

Like asking if water is wet.

Backstrap is a pair of long muscles running along the spine, one on each side of the spinous process, from the pelvis to the neck.



Tenderloin is also a pair of muscles, much shorter and smaller, than run underneath the spine from the rear of the pelvis forward to about the second rib.

So, the back strap is like a New York strip on a steer?
Thank you.

More like a ribeye, I think.

Backstrap needs to be fried in cast iron.
