Making bone broth in the slow cooker for the first time. The aromatics are really great.

I dint even know what whitetail blackstrap is
Sorry, it was supposed to say Backstrap. It’s a muscle group that runs up the back spine of deer/elk/moose/etc. One of the biggest tender cuts off the animal. It’s like the filet mignon of venison cuts.

You nailed the doneness, looks perfect. I can't seem to get that right if I cut the steaks before cooking. So know I butcher into 1/3rds, sear and then finish in the oven.

Small note: The tenderloin in the filet mignon, backstrap is the NY strip.

It was a little overdone but not too bad. Came out about medium, and I was shooting for medium-rare. When I butcher the meats I always butterfly the backstrap into 0.5in cuts before vacuum sealing. And when I thaw them out I try to trim the tendons out before cooking. Not necessary, but saves you time for the picky eaters & its easy trimming when they're still partially frozen.

Its sorta a pain to get the doneness right every time, but I do it by finger poke... Depends on the thickness of the cut though. Sear them for no more than 2 mins per side and let them rest. I think I have a pretty good feel for medium-rare doneness on the skillet, but the rest time is what overcooks them to medium.

Yours looks incredible!! Great work

If venison is on the menu at a local restaurant, I get it every time......
