Which is better Venison or Beef? This is a head-to-head blind taste test of grilled venison backstrap vs grill beef tenderloin. Finally put to rest with the best beef cut up against what most consider to be the best cut on the deer… backstrap. This recipe also limits the spices and flavors so that the real star of the show is the grilled meat. We also use a great Japanese beef dipping sauce called Gyu Tare and show how together this great beef sauce.
All of this is a part of our indoor grilling series featuring great cast iron cooking recipes and helping to bring the grilling indoors when the weather outside isn’t cooperating with your culinary cravings.
We also selected an induction cooktop to doe this cast iron cooking on just to mix things up a little bit. Not everyone has access to a flame cooking surface when it comes to grilling and cooking with cast iron indoors.

to say this youtear sauce which is a Japanese beefdipping sauce this is how you actuallypronounce it according to Google so thisbackstrap has not been frozen it camefrom a younger deer so it’s going to bemuch more tender than some of the olderdeer that we’ve gotten this season andthis is just a run-of-the-mill what youwould pick up in the grocery store touchon the expensive side we’ll go ahead andget that meat prepared[Music][Music][Music]so now that we’ve got that venisonbackstrap prepped up we’ll go ahead anddo the cooks side by side same spicessame temperature in the same pan we’vegot that pan smoking hot so go ahead andstart the cooking I’ve got a feelingthat this back strap is gonna cook a lotquicker than this tenderloin because ofthe the beef tenderloin is so muchthicker of the
