What's your favorite way to cook venison back strap?

A buddy gave me some back strap, I've cooked it before, just looking for some favorite recipies.

Backstrap is the best cut of venison because it is the most tender. When I have it ,which is very rare, we'll butterfly into cutlets and fry them in a cast iron skillet after they have been dredged....think chicken fried steak. Of course you'll need to make gravy from the grease to put on top.

Chicken fried is pretty common. I also just slice it into medallions, give each a quick sear, and eat that with a little chimichurri.

All of the above are excellent. If it was a young doe, I like to slice them about an inch thick. Wrap them in bacon like a filet mignon and cook them over indirect heat and smoke until they are just crossing the threshold from medium rare to medium (about 150ºF). Just a little fresh ground pepper for seasoning.

Cut it into filets and pan fry with salt & pepper. While the filets are resting after cooking, pour a little cognac and cream in the pan, and whisk the sauce for a minute or two. Add a little fresh black pepper to the sauce and drizzle over the filets (on the side is fine too).

Best on a grill with a marinade of olive oil, salt, pepper and a little bit of crushed red pepper.
