How to Make Marinade For Venison Backstrap

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
  2. Place your venison backstrap (approximately 1-1.5 lbs) in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it's fully coated.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Wrap the marinated backstrap tightly with bacon slices.
  6. Place the bacon-wrapped backstrap on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the bacon is crispy.
  7. During grilling, baste the backstrap with the remaining marinade every 5-7 minutes for extra flavor and moisture.
  8. Remove from the grill, let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
