Shanks

Anybody ever use an Instapot?  Any idea how long to cook it in one?

Probably the 90 minutes at 12 lbs setting. Bone in meat.  Its what I use for pork butts and such.

One of my favorite meals! Just did one of my daughters muley doe shanks not too long ago. This one I did sous vide for 48hrs at 143 degrees. Just used balsamic vinaigrette and garlic, with some salt and pepper. Quick sear in cast iron to finish. Reduced the juices from the bag and drizzled over top 😍

And a couple fingers to go along with it.

Did elk shanks last year after getting an email for Hank Shaw's Portuguese Braised Elk Shanks. Unbelievably good. I have done several since then with variations. I did some mondo sized beef shanks from Winco this weekend while on a road trip  to check out a late muzzle area in the bottom end of the Cascades. Seared and in the crockpot at 6am with onions and mushrooms. Back at 1:30 pm to turn them down. Came back at the end of the day to siphon off excess oils and thickened to pour over rice. Added a green salad and sourdough bread. Nothing really better!

That looks really good. Shanks are the bomb. Somebody needs  to breed a deer and an octopus.

This I'd pay good money to see.

My issue with shanks is I am really bad about free feeding while I pick them    I usually do sweet and spicy barbacoa street tacos with mine.  Necks and shoulders almost as good.

I enjoy doing my shanks in a soup. Filipino style. I know it sounds nuts... But it's good. Clear broth with ginger, green onions, corn, dash of fish sauce. It's a dish my wife introduced me to except it's normally made with beef shanks and marrow.

Sounds like a great recipe!

I cut them into 1" disks, sear them in a very hot pan and can them in pint jars with au jus, a couple of jalapeno slices and some pearl onions. Can't beat it for elk camp lunch when heated on the wood stove on a cold day.

Twisp, you do them bone in? Shank meat is made for canning and slow braising. I have had bear, deer, lamb, pork, beef. Haven't run into one that wasn't delicious. Great cold weather food.

I did mine on the bone this year, made amazing venison stew, not to mention a killer bone broth!!!

Shanks a lot to all you guys posting this stuff a week after I ground mine...
