Venison Shanks

Venison shanks are perfect for a slow-cooked feast that delivers incredible flavor and tender meat.

Avoid grinding shanks into burger, as their sinew and silverskin can clog your meat grinder. Instead, braise them to transform this cut into a showstopping meal. These recipes may even change how you approach butchering deer.

After years of cooking deer, antelope, and elk shanks, I’ve found them as delicious as lamb shanks. Packed with Omega-3 and Omega-6, plus essential nutrients like zinc, selenium, and collagen, shanks are a nutritious addition to your diet.

With these recipes, you’ll master cooking venison shanks in a slow cooker or Dutch oven. A few hours of slow cooking yields tender, fall-off-the-bone meat your family and friends will love. As a bonus, you’ll unlock the rich bone marrow inside, perfect for broth or sauce.

These kid-friendly Pizza roll Ups are a big hit with our 9-year-old daughter and her friends. And my wife loves this Rogan Josh when she's in the mood for Indian food.
