Bone in venison roasts

[TheBlindCat]

I grew up with venison roasts being paired with pork or bacon to keep them from drying out. After seeing Meateater recipes for bone in front shoulder and shanks, I’ve changed my butchering and cooking. Rather than losing most of the front shoulder trying to cut out connective tissue for grinding meat, I keep them whole or split in half for large deer.

Bone-In Blade Venison Roast

Years ago, my brother Danny perfected this bone-in blade venison roast recipe while working with a moose shoulder. I’ve since used it for everything from whitetail to black bear. As you’ll see, it proves that there’s no need to grind all your big game shoulders into burger meat. Handled properly...

Tonight I used a cubed deboned rear roast, two front shanks. Varying from the recipe I used one finely chopped onion, four carrots, skipped the mushrooms, and used black and cannellini beans. 6 hours in the slow cooker on high, removed and deboned the shanks and tossed in the cannellini beans at 5 hours. Paired with corn & beans from the garden and beer bread turned out great.

I was so frustrated with the amount of meat I was losing when carving up the front shoulder, I hat to waste any good meat. Three years ago, I saw or read about barbecue deer shoulders. I pretty much cook the whole shoulder in a crock pot for 6 to 8 hours... ingredients vary ever time just because I like to try different things when cooking. Once done, separate all the meat from the grizzle and chop it up or throw it in a processor for just a second or two. Place the meat back in the crock pot and add your favorite barbecue sauce for an hour on low. You will be amazed how good of a barbecue this turns out to be. My family love these as sliders or just as a barbecue plate.
The best thing is you can vacuum seal and freeze it. I take a pack or two on my hunting trips and warm it up over the camp fire after a day in the woods. It is my go to for shoulders.

if you really wana take it to another level throw those shoulders on the smoker for 2 hours on low heat between 200-250 then move them to the crock pot and proceed with your regularly schedule recipe.

I agree. Shoulders and necks are tied for second (after shanks) of my favorite venison cuts. Braised with onions, peppers, maybe root veggies, etc., you get either taco meat or pot roast. Can't beat it. Only downside is the bones taking up extra room in the freezer, but these packages usually get used up well before springtime.
