Instructions

  1. Preheat your Traeger grill to 225°F (107°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt.
  3. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the venison backstrap.
  4. In another bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, thyme, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
  5. Pour the marinade over the venison backstrap, ensuring it is well coated.
  6. Let the venison marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, in the refrigerator.
  7. Remove the venison from the marinade and let it come to room temperature.
  8. Place the venison backstrap directly onto the grill grates.
  9. Smoke the venison until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  10. Remove the venison from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  11. Slice the venison backstrap into medallions.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • Consider increasing the amount of chopped rosemary and thyme in the marinade for a more robust herb flavor.
  • Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness, using a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  • Experiment with various types of steak sauce or add a hint of honey for sweetness in the marinade.
