Venison Grilling TipsGrilling is tough on venison. With these venison grilling tips you will get the lowdown on techniques that'll help make those chops or steaks a little more tender and juicy. Grilling venison can take minutes or it can take hours, depending on just what part of the deer you're cooking. Backstraps, tenderloins, steaks and chops are the most tender if cooked to medium rare or medium. Well done venison is usually pretty tough and dry. See the temperature chart below.
Tenderloins and loins (or backstraps) can be grilled whole, or cut across the grain into small sections about 1 inch thick medallions and grilled.
Venison roasts should be cooked slower, grilled indirectly at medium-low to medium. Searing the roast on all sides before grilling helps it to retain its moisture. It's also common to wrap roasts in bacon. Roasts can also be wrapped in a double layer of aluminum foil partway through grilling, which holds in the moisture. The following table shows grill temperature levels for indirect grilling.
