Underrated Cuts and Non-traditional Recipes

[Account Deleted]

My deer is sufficiently aged so today is butcher day. Things I'm doing different this time is shanks for osso bucco (making it tonight, I'll let you guys know) and guywhogoesoffsweetjumps talked me into doing neck steaks (which will likely get the same treatment) and ribs. Also doing hind quarter cuts for making pastrami and corned venison. Anyone else doing something a little different this year?

Sorry to hear that.

I think I'm just having a conversation with myself but the osso bucco was excellent. Never boning and trimming a shank ever again.

No deer meat for me as of yet. I like your ideas though.

Awesome - I'd like you to PM me the recipe!

Can't go wrong with ribs if you boil the fat off them first.

This looks awesome to me (repeat post--skip to 2:30ish):

I also kept the shanks whole this year for osso bucco. Can you share the recipe you used?

Otherwise I'm not sure I did anything out of the ordinary. I really wanted to keep the liver this year, but wound up hitting it with a bullet fragment. And I saw some yummy look heart recipes, and I'm kicking myself for not keeping it.

Oh well...maybe I'll get another chance if I fill my bow tag at some point.

My dad keeps/cooks the heart on his deer every year and I don't mind it either - actually pretty good..

He used to keep the livers as well, but seems like the mature deer always had liver flukes so he doesn't keep them anymore - thank god!

Saved the tongue on two of the moose from hunts this fall for a guy....Be damned if I'll eat them though.

We Keep the hearts too. Very good if eaten fresh

I used front shanks but either end will work. I just did everything in a Dutch oven to cut down on dishes and enhance flavor.
