While most people were spending 100's on Valentines Day, i grilled backstrap for my gf and I. This is a simple recipe but making sure your fire is at the right temp is key. Take the backstrap and cut it into 2" steaks. Brush with olive oil and roll in into the spice mixture. Grill each side 3-4min fliping only once! I served this with fresh Green beans and a Waldorf salad. Enjoy guys!
spice mixture:
2 tbs whole peppers corns (crushed)
1/2 tsp smoked wood salt(got it at HEB)
1/2 tsp ancho chili powder
1/2 tsp san antonio chili powder (got it at HEB)
1/4 tsp chipotle chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp light brown sugar
1/2 tsp cumin

So what is the proper temperature?
Re: Grilled to perfection backstrap
Medium-hot fire. You should be able to hold your hand over the fire for 4 to 5 seconds. Keep it on the rare side and you cant go wrong!Alsatian wrote:So what is the proper temperature?
