So I just cooked Maryland sika deer backstraps last night and the wife said to go get another sika deer. Best wild game I have had.
I cut them into 1.5” steaks and wrap in bacon tied up with kitchen string. Olive oil and some seasoning. Famous Daves steak and burger is what I use. Sear both sides good in a carbon steel pan (cast iron also works well) then place the pan in a oven already heated up to 350. Cook till medium.
Take out and let the steaks rest. Deglaze the pan with red wine, add mustard and butter and reduce a little. Spoon the sauce over the steaks and enjoy.
Son uses a sous vide cooker and the turns out fantastic deer roasts.
