venison back straps. \u00a0Depending on the size of the backstrap, and how many people you need to feed, you could make 1-3 stuffed and trussed backstraps out of one whole backstrap. \u00a0So cut your backstrap into manageable sized roasts that will feed the number of people you need fed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Venison backstrap<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 c seasoned breadcrumbs<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 c mozzarella<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 c fresh parmesan cheese (or you could just do\u00a0all mozzarella, for a total of 3\/4 c)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 c olive oil<\/li>\n<li>2 garlic cloves, minced<\/li>\n<li>2 tsp basil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mix the breadcrumbs, cheese, olive oil, garlic and basil in a bowl and set aside. \u00a0 This will be your filling.<\/p>\n<p>To accomplish this meal, you will need a meat tenderizer with a flat side to it and kitchen string. \u00a0You don&#8217;t want to use the pointy edges of the tenderizer, just the flat edge to pound the meat out flat once you have it ready to flatten. \u00a0Before you start pounding, you will need to make two cuts in the section of backstrap \u00a0you are using. \u00a0The first cut will be a third of the way in, about\u00a03\/4\u00a0of the way through the roast. \u00a0Pick a side, doesn&#8217;t matter &#8211; just remember so you can cut the same side once you flip the roast. \u00a0 Flip the roast right over and make another slit down the length of the roast, 3\/4 through, cutting from the same edge you did before (but this time it&#8217;s on the opposite side because you flipped it). \u00a0Now you should be able to lay your roast out somewhat flat, as each section you cut can be laid out on either side.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style
