Wood-Fired Filet Mignon
These bite sized tenderloins are the true ‘filet mignon’ of the duck and with enough of them, you can create a delicious meal fit for the family.
This recipe is a combo of wood-fired smoke and Chinese infused aromatic flavor. There’s so much to love about a stir-fry that includes tender duck, hints of mandarin orange, ginger, garlic, crisp and crunchy veges all served over steamed wild rice.
In a large bowl, combine all marinade ingredients. Place the duck tenderloins in the marinade, stirring to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate for 1 hour or overnight.
Set the Traeger temperature to 450 degrees and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes. Preheat a 10” to 12” inch oven proof skillet or cast iron skillet on the grill grate for 10 minutes, lid closed.
Add the oil and marinated duck tenders to the skillet and close lid cooking for 15 minutes.
Add the chopped vegetables to the skillet, stirring to combine and close the lid cooking for 10 minutes.
Remove and serve the smoked duck tender stir-fry over cooked wild or white rice. Garnish with mandarin oranges and sesame seeds.
