RE: ABC's of Game Cooking? GIVE IT UP & PASS IT ON!
I read about this one in a magizine and gave it a try. I'd have to say it was excelent and easy.
The deal is simple, sprinkle some very fine ground COFFEE on each side of a thick slice of back strap (or whatever). First you season with garlic salt to bring the blood to the surface. The coffee then mixes with the blood and creates a thin juice saving crust when grilled. They recommended you do one side and wait 20 min. then flip the meat over and season the other. The wait time is to allow the coffee and blood to mix. I wrapped a piece of peppered bacon around the meat to add some fat and to protect the sides from getting dry.
6 min. on each side and there you go! It sounds weird but I assure you that there is no coffee taste, just primo juicy meat to eat!
