First time ever making deer ribs. Cut the ribs out of Mallorys doe from last week and prepared them just like I would do regular ribs. They turned out pretty good. I think they needed a little more time in the oven but the flavor was still really good. Not as meaty as pork ribs as expected but I would definitely try them again as opposed to throwing them away.

try parboiling or pressure cooking them a bit first to render the tallow and tenderize them, definitely helps in my experience

Trying to find healthier meal choices I told the wife I wish they made spring rolls without onion. Opened my lunch today and to my surprise!

She made some man sized for me! Made the sauce and everything. Hot damn! I guess that half hour talk really motivated her. Is that why you talk to Nancy?

I have braised shanks before, but never quite like this. I found a fairly simple recipe that fit the way I prefer to cook. I sawed two 2" thick pieces from all four shins of this deer. You can see in that pic what those look like. I cooked half of them. The other half are still aging and will get eaten this weekend probably. Did all the stovetop cooking and braising in a 12" cast iron skillet. It all fit ok. Fyi, deer shank will take a little longer than beef shank to cook to fall apart tender.

This is what I did, and I'm going to do it again. Very pleased with this recipe. Watch the video. I used beef tallow for cooking the vegetables instead of vegetable oil or olive oil. I might make a roux instead of using corn starch and water to thicken the au jus next time, too. I liked this so much that I may buy beef shanks to make it sometime. :D
