Traeger Grilled Venison Striploin – Or Whatever You Do

Traeger Grilled Venison Striploin – Or Whatever You Do

Our Traeger Grilled Venison Striploin is one of the most tender cuts of meat on the entire deer. It is prized for its flavor, versatility, and simplicity. This recipe is as simple as it is fast, and the pellet grill is the perfect spot to cook this exceptional piece of meat. Don’t skip the chimichurri! It adds a great tang to your final bite.

The venison striploin, also known as the backstrap, is my favorite cut of venison to cook. It is quick, easy, lean, and packed with flavor and nutrients. There’s a reason it is one of the most prized off of the whole deer! Chances are your hunting friends won’t be gifting you this fancy cut, so you had better start hunting if you want one, or get on the waitlist for Maui Nui (which is where we source our venison). Either option is worth it. Venison is one of the healthiest red meats you can eat.

We served this medium-rare venison sirloin steak with some pre-made sauce from Cham Vietnamese Dipping Sauce. It is just the right amount of herby and spicy for venison. You can get 5% off if you use the code “OWYD” too.

  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon wild game rub (see note)
