Country Girl Deer Meat
Thanks to Julie Rackley for sending in this recipe.

~ 1 whole side deer backstrap
~ lemon pepper seasoning
~ black pepper
~ salt

In a bowl combine some lemon pepper, black pepper and salt together to taste. You’ll have to play with it a bit to get desired taste and quantity.

Cut slits on the top and bottom of the backstrap 3 to 5 inches long. Fill the slits with the seasoning mixture.

Rub the seasoning over entire backstrap. Wrap in foil.

Bake in the oven at 300 degrees or place on grill over medium-low heat for 2 – 4 hours or until the meat is tender.

Remove from heat and let set a minute or two to rest.

Remove from foil, slice, serve and enjoy.
