Elk Neck Meat

Cut a couple roasts and grind the rest

We seared a big slab of deer neck on the Blackstone and dropped it in the crockpot overnight with a simplified birria broth. My lady made tacos out of it last night.

Absolutely fantastic way to eat an underappreciated cut.

This year was the first year I tried making a roast from the neck. If you want to grind into burger thats fine, but the neck roast turned out pretty good. All the sinew or tough tissue in the meat was gone. Same with the shanks.

Grind

Necks and shanks make absolutely the most amazing roast from game. I would never waste my time trimming and grinding those cuts again.
I now grind all the hindquarter and shoulder roast chucks that are just lame pure muscle that makes dry tasteless roast or steak and add a decent amount of grass fed beef fat to it and that's incredible too.
