Gourmet Recipe: Venison Backstrap with Veal Demi-Glace

The coffee spice rub, demi-glace and mesquite wood will combine to create an enticing mix of flavors. The process may take a little extra work, but no doubt, it will be worth it. Have HOT coals/wood going, reserving three to four pieces of the mesquite wood (dry) for smoking. Add reserved wood right before placing meat on the grill. Set meat aside and let rest for a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, reheat sauté pan of onions and mushrooms until hot. Cut butter into chunks and add to pan. Remove from heat and stir mixture until butter has slowly melted and sauce is smooth and velvety. Drizzle the rest of the sauce on top of meat. Cook It.
