Venison Shanks

[cowgirl]

One of those "backyard" cooks. I use what I've got.
Last backyard cook https://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=301305

I was able to bring in some venison during rifle season. It'll last me the year.

I cooked up a shank dinner...

cut through the meat with a knife...

cut through the bone with the Milwaukee..

The shank, rinsed and ready..

gathered some dried herbs, garlic, onions, tatoes, squash from this year's garden...

Gave the shanks a quick browning in duroc lard..

removed the shanks and sauteed the onions and garlic in the drippings..

Prepped my squash and tatoes...

Added the browned shanks back to the pot with venison stock and let er go in the drum for a few of hours..

Then added the veggies...

Ended up simmering the shanks for about 7 hours, til tender...

Venison shanks, backyard goods....... and supper was ready.

The shank was fall off the bone tender....

...and the marrow...

I schmeared the venison marrow onto a hunk of shank...

I enjoyed the meal. It reminded me of why I hunt, fish and raise a garden. Home grown, or harvested food is hard to beat. imo :grin:


Thanks for looking!

I think the grate is about 11 or so years old. It's heavy duty!

Is it ok to use a machine gun ( joking) to take down 8 deer? I mean, if you have so many might as well it a thing.

Ok...I've read this 3 times. I'm not understanding what you are asking.
"use a machine gun (joking) to take down 8 deer"
"might as well it a thing"

I'm guessing you are not a hunter and do not realize there is a limit on how many deer you are allowed to harvest....and what guns are allowed. :noidea:

The " might as well.. it a thing" makes no sense.

What does this have to do with venison shanks? :laugh:

A joke. I followed the permits. I just had to get bunch of family members to get permits and tags so i could drive by 8 deer. All legal.
BTW, i never killed a deer. But i want to kill these deer in my yard for ground venison or jerky.

I've eaten a lot of deer, but just gave the shanks to the dogs, I'll give this a try , How does that marrow taste?

The content of your posts, the creativity and the execution just absolutely amaze me, and the fact that you took such raw materials and made such a beautiful looking dish, fantastic! You certainly have a "leg" up on most of us, "shanks" for posting.
