hammerforged 47 Report post Posted May 21 Trying a new Backstrap recipe this coming weekend, new to me anyway. Calls for cutting the backstrap into two inch chunks and marinating in apple cider in refrigerator for 3 hours then remove from cider and pat dry, let stand until room temp and wrap each chunk in bacon, fire up the grill for high heat, grill for 15 to 20 minutes or until bacon is slightly burnt looking. Fingers crossed that I don't screw it up. will let you know how they turn out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wtnhunt 956 Report post Posted May 21 Think I would try something like that on steaks before trying it on backstraps. But yeah let us know how it turns out Ross. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerforged 47 Report post Posted May 28 Well, I gotta say these backstrap bites were mighty tasty. Marinated them in apple cider overnight in the refrigerator, took them out let them rest til at room temp then wrapped in Smithfield applewood smoked bacon. On the grill at high heat to blacken the bacon then moved over to low heat for about 20 minutes. Fork tender and loaded with flavor. Sorry for the poor pic, taken with my cell phone.
