I make “steaks” (really just random chunks of meat) from the rear quarters and backstraps.
Marinade in the cheapest fat free Italian dressing you can find for about 2-3 days in the fridge.
Salt, pepper, garlic powder both sides and grill until you like it.
Slice thin and put it on some tortilla shells with some blue cheese and sautéed mushrooms. Ooooooo doggy.

Blackstrap Steaks via Sous Vide:

• Season steaks with Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Onion Powder.
• Bag up a couple of steaks. Leave them rather large. IMO sous vide works better when the cuts of meat are larger.
• Include a few tablespoons of butter, sprigs of thyme and rosemary.
• Cook steaks via sous vide to your preference. A couple of hours at the desired temp should do the trick.
• When the cook is complete, grab the sprigs and steaks from the bag. Keep any juices from remaining in the bag.
• Get a pan ripping hot and add lots of butter and the sprigs from the bag. Sear the steak in the pan while spooning herbed butter mixture over the steak. Don’t over due it as game meat cooks fast and you can over cook the meat during this process.
• Let rest for a few minutes and slice the steaks cross grain. Pour the bag dripping over the steak and serve.

Good butchering starts in the field. Crappy prepared meat out in the field translates to the dinner table…

This is the way. The sous vide makes all steaks very easy to get correctly cooked.

BRAISED VENSION SHANKS
(FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS GRIND SHANKS!)





INGREDIENTS:

Serves 2-3
2 TB Butter
2 TB Olive Oil
2 Venison Shanks
Salt, Pepper, garlic powder, onion powder to season the shanks before browning
3/4 cup Onions chopped
3/4 cup Carrots chopped
3/4 cup Celery chopped
6 Cloves Garlic minced
3 tomatoes chopped
1 cup red wine
3 cups Beef stock (venison if you make your own)
1 Tb Fresh thyme minced
1-1/4 t fresh ground black pepper
3 bay leaves
2 t coarse salt
3 Tb cornstarch

INSTRUCTIONS:

Remove the the shanks from the fridge, pat dry and let them come to room temp

Season the shanks with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder.




Start the oven at 300F
Melt/heat the butter and olive oil in a pan and brown the shanks and remove from pan/dutch oven



Add onions, carrots and celery to the pan and saute in the goodness. Add more olive oil and/or butter as needed.

Once golden brown add garlic saute another 3 min or so (don't burn the garlic) then add the red wine, scraping the goodness from the bottom of the pan

Add the stock, tomatoes, tyme, bay leaf salt and pepper and bring to a boil





Add the shanks back to the dutch oven, cover and braise for 3-4 hrs





They will be done when the meat is tender and will pick off with a fork. Remove the shanks from the dutch oven when done.





Mix cornstarch in small bowl with enough water to liquify and add to the sauce cooking over low heat until thickened. Add the shanks back to the sauce and serve over mash potatoes, with or without the bone.

This is one of my favorite venison recipes. I used to hate all the time it took to pick the shanks clean for the grind pile, now I just freeze them whole. Rarely do you get to shorten the processing time and improve the outcome however, with cooking whole shanks you are able to do just that. During the slow cooking process all the connective tissues soften into a melt in your mouth, buttery goodness that adds great flavor to both the meat and sauce.

@nosajnh. I’ll use that recipe this fall.
I’m like you in that I hate dealing with the front shanks. It can be a real chore. Thanks for the info.

Recent one I just tried out last night: Venison Roast Smashed Potatoes, super simple
1. Marinade Roast in Brazilian Steakhouse seasoning (just used McCormick Grill Mates)-- Anywhere from 2-12 hrs
2. Crock Pot Roast on Low for 6 hours then shred
3. Bake some Red Potats @400 F until fork tender
4. Smash Potatoes Flat on same baking sheet (season to taste), then layer on the meat and put a layer of preferred cheese. Can also ladle on the drippings
5. Throw back in for 10 minutes to melt cheese
6. Plate and serve with diced red onions, ranch dressing (made ours with greek yogurt), chives, and horseradish.

Thats a favorite of mine too! Also, dont be afraid to do more or less the same thing with about any gristly cut—neck roast, whatever. The bone adds to it, but it still tastes awesome.

3 easy ways to really make “venison steaks” into next-level awesome.

1) DO NOT pre-cut into steak-thickness cuts, leave the muscle whole so you can get a good crispy sear on the outside while leaving the center pink and juicy.

2) make a simple mushroom sauce. Hank shaws recipe is good although its more or less the same as dozens of others. I like to substitute red wine for the brandy, as my wife doesnt care for the brandy. This takes like 5 extra minutes, all you need are mushrooms, a shallot, some red wine or brandy, salt and pepper, thyme, some broth and a dash of half and half or cream.


3) another great and even easier option is a simple hand-chopped chimmichurri. I highly, highly prefer hand chopped over anything done is a blender. Make it first and set it aside to steep in its own juices while you bake a potato and do your steak. Just chop up a big handful of parsley and cilantro (I like a mix), lots of fresh garlic, some salt and pepper and oregano, fresh red hot pepper if you have it ( or jalapenos or similar) or about half the volume of crushed red pepper flakes if you dont, pack it into a bowl and add just barrly enough good-quality olive oil to cover it, plus a dash of red wine vinegar. Leave it out warm while you cook.




This is the mushroom sauce but with black trumpets.

Made a Bolognese with venison for the first time last week and it came out very good. Pretty much the same process as any bolognese of which there are plenty of recipes on the internet. I didn't freeze any this go around but it strikes me as something that would freeze very well.

I would say maybe down brown the meat as hard as you would with fattier animals like beef, pork, or veal, and getting a really fine dice or even mince on the vegetables improves the texture in my opinion.

What's the play on the shank tacos? We have CWD around here and I'm not the biggest fan of cutting through the shank or I'd be all about some more recipes that kept it bone in or cut through the bone.

Totally understand. I normally pop them out of the joint and then it below the shank. Then just braise them whole in broth with onion, peppers, tomatoes and garlic. Then shed and blend the veggies and broth into a sauce.

No cwd concerns since no spinal fluid is cut

I made this one up last night.

Stone soup with Venison

2 pounds venison stew meat, trim off excess fat and feed to man’s best friend
1 ham hock (trim off excess fat and discard, slice all meat into small cubes)
1 head cabbage diced
2 onions diced
2 bunches celery chopped
1 bag baby carrots chopped
1 bunch fresh sage, rosemary, and thyme
1/4 cup Madeira
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons butter
Black and cayenne pepper to taste
1 magic stone*

Melt butter in large heavy pot on medium heat
Sauté onions, celery, and carrots for a few minutes, stirring often.
Add water. Stir. Let a bit of it evaporate off.
Add venison. Stir often, let it brown.
Add pepper. Stir. Taste.
Add Madeira. Stir. Taste.
Add cabbage. Stir.
Add herbs. Stir.
Add ham hock.
Add magic stone.

Cover and lower temperature to simmer. Let simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring every five to ten minutes. Taste. If cabbage is still tough, cook longer.

Pick out herb stems, serve.

Total cooking time should be about an hour from melting butter to done.

For extra tastiness, serve over mashed potatoes.

* - magic stone not required, but it gets my daughter involved in the process.
