I like to cook...well, grill .

Any good recipes?

I'll start with a great backstrap recipe.

Pound out a tenderloin or section of backstrap till it's flat.

Spread cream cheese on it, put on some cooked sausage, pickled jalapeno' peppers, and shredded cheese.

Roll it up and pin with toothpicks. Optionally wrap with bacon.

Sear over high heat, then move to a cooler side of the grill to get some smoke. I add seasoned wet applewood to the coals for smoke.

This cooks fast....you only have to heat up the inside as the sausage is already cooked and the rest is safe. Cook the venison to medium rare to medium and serve.

I do something very similar, except my filling is some combination of blue cheese, sauteed spinach, onion, and mushroom.

I've got a great stew recipe that I'll post when I get back to my home computer.

Bear or bacon fat makes a nice substitute for standard cooking oils in step 1. above.

I think the issue that you put forward, I have learned.
