Deer Shanks.

[giles]

Smoking the front leg isn't a meal. More like a nice snack, like the breakfast rolls. Just fun to do on a crappy day with football playing.

I've done a whole front shoulder in a crockpot before and made pulled deer sammiches. Minus the shank because I usually cut them off and used a filet knife to trim off the silver skin before grinding.

I tend to put shanks, most of rib meat and anything I don't want in my select deer burger into the bags for deer bologna.

You guys have given me some ideas. I usually grind everything except the backstraps and inner loins.

We started running a lot of loin and roast Chunks through a cuber. They can be used for all sorts of dishes. The hand crank Cuber is much easier to run than you even can imagine.

I just grind em up and then grind them about twice more and they go into summer sausage with the rest of the shoulder, neck and rib meat.

Crockpot, 10 hours is what I'm going to do.

if you brown them heavily first, deglaze and gather up the fond and add to the crock pot with whatever liquid and other stuff you might add, that is effectively braising. and they will be delectable.

I believe I have the same cuber as you. Cubed steak, gravy over mashed taters is a staple here

Osso buco is too much work. Braise em, can em, or pressure cook em. They can be very good. More often than not, I simply chunk them up and mix them into my ground pile.

I cut into 1” pieces and run them with the ground meat.

Hory shirt!
Deboned deer shanks in the slow cooker for 10 hours on low.

Grind for burger or made in sausage.

I have some in vacuum sealed bags in planning on sous vide for 48 hrs and then seasoning for tacos or pulled venison sandwiches.
