Venison cooking question
« on: September 02, 2022, 10:22:11 AM »
I have some venison leg meat, the smaller pieces with all the silver skin attached. I just want to cook it up to make some burritos for the family this weekend. Any recommendations on how to cook it up so they aren't getting the chewy silver skin in every bite, but without having to spend a bunch of time trying to clean it up?  Can I cook it low and slow, like a roast, and render some of that out? I usually send these parts to be made into burger, but found some in the freezer, and I'm just not sure what to do with them.  Thanks

The area with heavy silver skin and sinew like the shoulders and shanks do well low and slow with moisture. Crock pot or pressure cooker turns them the consistency of pulled pork. 3-4 hours in a crock pot with garlic, onions, soy sauce, mustard, Sriracha, red wine. Pretty much anything in the door of the fridge is good. When it pulls apart with a fork it's good to go.

Do you have an Instant Pot by chance?  Those things can do magic to tough cuts.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

No instant pot or pressure cooker. It's headed into the crock pot here in a little bit. Thanks guys!

Shanks and neck I crock pot a little longer, say 6 hours or so. 

There is still some tendon and sinew to pick out tho, be aware.  You can ruin someone real quick.

I remove as much silver skin as possible, it does not improve the taste. Then cut into strips, brine it and and smoke it at lease 12 hours. Comes out like great tasting jerky  :tup:

Unsure how small of pieces you're talking about, but what I do that has worked (albeit a PIA to do) is to slice
through the silver skin long-ways, flatten it out a bit, and then use a filleting technique to remove the silver skin from the meat.  Have a good sharp knife and it isn't too bad.

Crock pot works for sure, but for whatever reason I seem to get better results in a dutch oven in the oven.  I think it holds a bit of pressure and more even heat or something.
