From Field to Table in 6 Days (Pronghorn Backstraps)

[lancetkenyon]

Went to NM and took a decent pronghorn on Sunday, 8-27. After 17+ miles of hiking and failed stalks in a day and a half, I took this buck at a whopping 130 yds.

Got home on Tuesday evening, and let him age until Friday evening. I butchered him myself, and cooked backstraps for dinner.

Kikkoman Teriyaki marinade
Kikkoman Teriyaki glaze
6-8 cloves fresh garlic minced
1 whole white onion sliced and halved
3-4 whole jalapeños diced
Bunch of black pepper
Bunch of crushed red pepper

Marinate for 3 hours

Get Cast iron grill pan hot as #€ll for backstraps
Separate pan for veggies

Separate backstraps from veggies and marinade

Backstraps in cast iron grill pan, sear both sides and cook to medium rare

Start veggies when meat is almost done. Cook Veggies and sauce until onions are slighly softened but still crunch, and sauce starts to thicken

Let meat rest for 10 minutes

Slice backstraps, pour onions/jalapeños and sauce over the meat. Serve hot.

Enjoy!

Nice goat and good eats. By far my favorite wild animal to eat!

.260AI w. 130 OTM @ 3068fps. Dropped at the shot w. 2 kicks and done. Hard quartering away. I aimed for the offside front leg. When I opened him up to get to the tenderloins, a river of blood and lungs poured out.

Pfffft. Shooting animals with those "Match" bullets. SMH.

Pronghorn from Arizona is fabulous and sounds like NM as well. My favorite hunt and game meat.
Congrats, nice buck!

I leave in 2 days for my AZ pronghorn tag that I have waited 27 years to draw.
