Venison Backstrap

It's hunting season here in Colorado and I've just received a lovely piece of venison backstrap. It's a very lean cut but it's also probably the best piece of venison you're going to get. Anybody have any suggestions for how to prepare it to best honor the cut?

Thanks Merrill. That sounds like a nice change from my normal 'wrap it in bacon and go with God' approach!

I think this recipe would work well with venison loin (which I believe is the same as backstrap): http://www.food52.com/recipes/14725_porcini_and_rosemary_crusted_beef_tenderloin_with_port_wine_sauce The earthiness of the mushrooms and the port would be a nice complement to the meat.
