Here's the plan. I just cut and cleaned the backstraps and loins out of a small doe I killed early Sat. They are soaking in a mixture of Soy Sauce, Olive oil, Montreal steak seasoning, and lemon pepper. Tomorrow evening they will go in the smoker with some fresh hickory bark. The back straps are not real thick from this doe. Maybe 2-3 inches when laid flat. I have never butterfly cut them before. Do I stand them up (so to speak) on the edge and butterfly them that way? I hope that makes sense. Or should I just lay them flat and flip them halfway through?
