Instructions

  1. Trim the silver skin and excess fat from 2 deer loins. Cut each loin into 4-inch portions, and butterfly each one with a cut 3/4 of the way through the middle, without cutting all the way through.
  2. Put the filets in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over them, cover with plastic wrap and soak for 2 hours.
  3. Bake the bacon on a baking sheet at 400°F for 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels. It should be slightly brown and pliable.
  4. Set up a charcoal grill for direct cooking over hot coals, at 475–500°F.
  5. Take the filets out of the marinade and drain off the excess onto paper towels. Wrap each filet in bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  6. Season the outside of each filet with AP Seasoning and Steak Rub.
  7. Place the filets on the hot grate for 1 1/2 minutes, turn them 90 degrees to make grill marks, and cook 1 1/2 more minutes. Repeat on the other side.
  8. Remove the filets at 120°F internal for rare, or cook longer to your liking.
  9. Rest the filets for 5–7 minutes before serving.
  10. Make the marinade ahead: whisk the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, water, vegetable oil, honey, dark brown sugar, Steak Rub, lemon pepper and AP Seasoning in a large bowl until the sugar and honey dissolve.
