made stock yesterday for the first pot of green beans, potatoes, and ham. gonna be served with fresh baked bread and side of Chanterelles.
Tree rat and mixed greens tonight. I boiled the Squirrel in a stock until fork tender and them fried up crispy in a seasoned cornmeal and flour mix.View attachment 132336
I like your culinary slant, Lackster.
I think the eye of round is my favorite cut of meat from a deer. Don’t get me wrong, I love backstrap as much as anyone. But the eye of round is simply perfect in every way. I equate it to the little “cutlet” tender underneath the breast of a dove or a duck or a goose… the whole breast is good, but that one little piece is like the icing on the cake.sous vide/grilled venison eye of round, last of my fresh Chant's sauteed, grilled green beans, herbed high heat roasted red skin potatoes. as much as I enjoyed this, I think I'd have preferred warreye taco.

the tenderloins are my favorite, but the eye of round is an excellent cut. very much worth the trouble of liberating it from the round and cleaning it up. I have not ground these up for a long time. cooked this way, these are as tender and tasty as a loin chop. blindfolded, I'm not sure I could tell the difference.I think the eye of round is my favorite cut of meat from a deer.
