Put a little bit of Axis deer backstrap on the BGE. Killed a couple on Lanai in October. Should have prepped it in a 135°C sous vide for an hour or two, as it’s a bit tougher than my usual ribeye…. but the flavor is terrific. The green crap is there for decoration. Hahaha

Had company so I spatchcocked a bird and smoked for 4 hours at 250. Served with roast root veg, cabbage, and a fennel salad.

You’ve inspired me to take out a couple pieces of backstrap from Novembers Mule harvest.

My favourite treatment for moose/elk/deer backstrap is on the BBQ for the flavour, but on a grill mat to avoid losing any of the tiny amount of fat it contains. Same reason for the creamy sauce, add some fat back into the equation.

balsamic, olive oil, garlic scape salt/pepper sautéed Brussels, with the Bar-b-qed back strap, 6 min/side with baked potatoe

Lamb Ossobuco night.

Marinated lamb for two days and then slow roasted until it was fall off the bone.
Added some veggie, Alfredo sauce with Fusilli Paesani pasta. Plus Greek salad

Fusilli Paesani pasta has a great texture and flavor. We buy it at Boza Foods in Vancouver.

Where did you dig these ? I always wonder if these massive shellfish closures in the lower mainland are valid , as you cross the line and immediately there is Dayton harbour oyster farm , lots of clam digging in birch bay and surrounding areas .

Last night on Salt Spring. Seriously considering moving here if we can find the right place.

Clams in white wine sauce, crab and spot prawn cakes, sautéed oysters also in white wine sauce, with some roughage to round it out. All harvested locally in the last couple days. Feeling very fortunate to be able to experience this all in our back yard.

Looks absolutely delicious. You should read ‘closer to the ground’ if you’re considering life on a gulf island. It may motivate your decision. At very least, it’s a good book.
