The old saying is "hunger is the best sauce." The problem is when you become a good hunter... then there's meat around and you can't pass off starvation as a reason to eat just about anything. :D

@ ~z, you unconciously made a brilliant decision in deciding the cut on that meat; by rolling it the way you did, you made it so those neat little cut rounds have the fiber running the shortest length when cut into bites... which is part of why it was such a tender dish. (Anyone wantin' to test this is encouraged to make fajitas out of a skirt steak, and slice them both with and across the grain... one falls apart, one closely resembles the etymological root of "faja"... belt. Cut across the grain. :D )

A good braciole recipe (a beef rendition of a roulade) is listed here, by Alton Brown (The nerd's chef. To keep it gun related, one of his episodes featured a trip to the range with a 45acp, gotta dig up which one it was.)
 
Ooh, it all looks so good! I would add some steamed baby spinach fresh from the garden, YUM!
 
For the onion people, there is nothing like a Vadalia thrown on the grill.(I hate most onions.)
I have a bit of backstrap in the freezer. I just need more people in my house that eat it.

I'll add this.
Fried venison, scratch buttermilk biscuits and gravy for breakfast, Just like Grandma used to make when we visited for the holidays. That's one of the great meals that can not be redone, I've tried. It must be something about having a grandmother prepare it.
 
Party at Jim's place!

We used to have a few parties here. Catch a big mess of fish or throw some ribs on the smoker while making sausage.
My wife doesn't eat much wild game. Her family wasn't very good at preparing it.
It took me several years to get her eating fresh caught fish.

Let's see for the party: I have some backstrap. The garden's running a little slow this year but we can find something.
I also have a fence that needs a few hedge posts replaced. Another fence that needs set. The shower will be in next Tuesday for the cabin so that plumbing can be finished. Still need to do a septic and put a wall in for the bathroom. I would also like to get about a 1/4 mile section cleared wide enough for some rifle lanes.

In other words if I work you all day you'll think anything I cook tastes great.

Call me barbaric but my favorite part of the deer comes at camp right after the kill, rinse the livers real good, cut up the livers and heart with some potatoes, onion and bacon and cook in a cast iron skillit and eat with a small bowl of Green New Mexico chili stew and some tortillas and a 6 pack of Coors.

C'mon Deer Hunt season!!!!

P.S. Looks like a fine dish, Rembrandt.
