Fletch NY,

You're right!! I tried it last night.

I cut a strap in half, then 1 of the halves I cut into steaks. The other half I left whole. Seasoned them the same way and put them on the grill. The strap that was whole (sliced up after grilling) was SO MUCH better that the pre-cut medallions. It was the best grilled venison i've ever eaten!

Thanks for the tip,
TXMM
