Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (907 g) axis venison backstrap (about 900 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil (about 30 milliliters)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt (about 5 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) black pepper (about 2 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) garlic powder (about 3 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) onion powder (about 3 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) smoked paprika (about 3 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh rosemary, chopped (about 3 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh thyme, chopped (about 3 grams)
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Instructions

  1. Rinse the venison backstrap under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  3. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the surface of the venison backstrap.
  4. Sprinkle the chopped rosemary and thyme over the backstrap, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Once preheated, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  7. Place the venison backstrap on the grill.
  8. Grill the backstrap for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is reached.
  9. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
  10. Remove the backstrap from the grill once the desired doneness is achieved.
  11. Let the grilled venison rest for about 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  12. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the rested venison backstrap.
  13. Slice the venison backstrap against the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  14. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Marinate the venison backstrap in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes to intensify the flavor before grilling.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to your taste preference.
  • Enhance the citrus flavor by zesting the lemon before juicing and sprinkling the zest over the grilled venison.
