Every now and then I screw up just a little bit, but that often turns around to be actually rather damn good!
In this case, I took a section of last fall's Blacktail Backstrap out of the freezer, prepped a great marinade, and settled the meat into it.
Went to put it in the fridge, and realized I already had steaks ready to go for that eve.
And of course the next night was my birthday session of the Port Alberni Diner's Club,.
So, the backstrap sat in the marinade for two full days, stirring to ensure full coverage from time to time.
Last night it was up. Looked great right from the start:
A quick sear then a low & slow cook on the BarBee:
Perfection:
\
And Presentation:
Served with corn on the cob, an excellent Asiago & fresh Cracked Pepper rice.
Tenderest Blacktail we have had all year, you could literally cut it with your fork!
The wine was a very good Malbec from Argentina that more resembled a Shiraz to me, but was an excellent compliment to the meal overall.
Sometimes folks ask me why I hunt.
This is but one of hundreds of my answers...
Cheers,
Nog
