HerbcoFood Excuse this non-hunter. But, what is venison “backstrap”?
A lot of hunters and processors remove this cut without the bone since it is so easy to do and simplifies packaging.
Also, there are none of the skeletal parts associated with a traditional “loin chop”.processhead said in What did everyone cook today?:

Also, there are none of the skeletal parts associated with a traditional “loin chop”.Like processhead says it is easy to remove. You can usually just slip your hand in behind the muscle and slide your hand down along then length of the spine to separate. They come of like straps on either side of the backbone…hence the name back straps.

I taught my brother how to smoke a venison backstrap to perfection.

zbigjeff backstrap refers to a length of loin on the back of a deer, elk, moose, etc. In beef its ribeye and in pork its called loin.
Ridley Acres Thanks for the explanation. I have now been edumacated.

zbigjeff backstrap is where deer steaks come from. It looks like a pork loin when you cut it out. Very tender cut. Best enjoyed medium rare.

ND Mike Never butchered a deer. Thus, that’s why I asked. Thanks for filling in the blanks for me.

ND Mike Or Back Strap Medallions (Little Steaks). I just started doing all the rest of mine as burger & sausage since I was too poor to pay the butcher, so had to do it all myself, when I used to be able to. Then I was not good enough apparently (really just did not have the right set up) to make those beautiful bone in cuts with the saw I had, so I deboned them all. Good stuff, healthy too.

Boned out 10 lbs. of chicken 1/4’s to grind. At .79 a pound I can do the work to bone out and grind and not pay $4 lb. for ground. Got the bones in the pot boiling away for stock. Got it cubed and in the freezer for grinding tomorrow and then into my sausage experiment again.
