Venison Recipe - how to cook Braised Deer shanks the perfect Christmas Dinner
Venison is a common item on my families dinner table. Here's a great venison recipe for Osso Buco aka braised deer shanks that'd make the perfect Christmas dinner for a deer hunter's family. The shank is the part of the leg between the knee and elbow (front leg) or the knee and hock (back leg) of a deer, elk or other ungulate. Think of it as your forearm or calf. It's full of tendons and connective tissue so it would seem to be the last cut of meat that'd you'd go out of your way to cook. But you'd be wrong. Braised venison shank is some of the most savory and tender meat out there.
The secret is a slow and low cooking with a little liquid in a cast iron dutch oven. I cook mine with a little dry red wine on 300 deg for about 3-4 hrs. Throw some carrots and celery in about an hour before it's done, serve with a side of mashed potatoes, and you've got yourself on hell of a Christmas dinner!

What I love the most is that your Bay Leaves are also from the 1980’s like mine. Gives me hope.

Loved seeing your family eat dinner together
The best part of this video was calling your family in to eat together at the end. Families don't do that enough these days and important to expose the young ones to these great traditions. No phones at the table!

@@clayhayeshunter I did a blade in roast last night that was very similar minus the wine and carrots oh and I put the taters in the stew but an awesome meal
Even vegans want to eat this. Thanks for the recipe.
Hey Clay, is deer fat good for cooking, and does it taste good? Or is it best to remove all the fat when cleaning and breaking down the meat? Thanks
@clayhayeshunter

I remove as much as practical. It tends to have a chalky feel in the mouth.
that looks amazing! great job! i make it with bell pepper instead of the carrots, some parsley as well. the red wine is great, but i frequently use guinness as well, but i cook the vegies till mushed, then serve it all on toasted baguettes. if you use a fatty brisket, you got amazing french dip. thanks Clay! now excuse me while i go raid the refrigerator.

You should do a "Cast Iron - Use it Right" video. I have a bunch of cast iron, most of it is newer crap that I have to grind down and polish to a smooth surface....some of it works good, others are sticky no matter how many coats of flaxseed oil seasoning I give them. Would love to hear your perspective.

p.s.- I'll substitute heavy cream for the half&half in mashed taters...but the real secret is you have to hand mash them.
