Had a Grandkid bring me these two pig backstraps. I searched a little but didn't find much. Any suggestions from the green screen? Chicken fry like deer backstrap, smoke low and slow, or high heat cut thin on grille or skillet? Pig weighed about 75 lbs. Forgot to ask whether boar or guilt. Any advice appreciated.

I like to butterfly the pig backstraps and stuff them with cheese, peppers, and other goodies, wrap in bacon and cook it on the grill or oven. They will make good pull pork if you want to slow cook in a crockpot. Make good jerky too

It's a pork loin. Make pork chops, pulled pork, whatever. But, do cook it thoroughly as 85 percent of feral hogs has that parasite that starts with a t.

Where’d you get that stat?
I’ve looked into trichinosis in feral pigs and found no information to indicate it is common.

Marinate in soy with ginger & garlic for a couple hours, then grill until 160F (to kill possible trichinella) while basting with a mixture of honey, brown sugar, & sesame oil. It's amazing, I have 3 girls and it's their favorite meal.
Don't overcook it or it will dry out and get chewy. I usually pull it between 150-155 and wrap in foil, and just check it 5 min later to make sure it passed 160F. I believe trichinella is common in feral pigs and bears...no big deal if you cook it right.

But I usually eat them, just make sure to cook and handle properly
