Parmesan Stuffed Venison Backstrap

The key to Parmesan stuffed venison backstrap is to not overcook the tender cut of meat. The plank will help by keeping in the moisture but always use a meat thermometer. 

The backstrap is marinated in Caesar dressing overnight. The next day, it is wrapped in a flavorful combination of Parmesan cheese, and spices, then layered with spinach.

If you do not have enough backstrap to feed your crowd, this makes a nice appetizer and is a great introduction to plank-cooked wild game.
