re: Deer Rib Soup

I've done three ways in order of best to worst:

1. Debone and cut up into about half inch to inch pieces. Add to chili when you put in your chili plate ground meat after cooking down the trinity. I cooked in cast iron dutch oven and let my chili simmer for a good while with the lid on. You get the thick sauciness from the ground chili meat and tender meaty chunks from the stewed down ribs.

2. Debone and flour and fry as steak fingers. Want to cook them down tender, but don't overcook. This is the hard part and I have probably never done it good, but they eat.

3. Smoked on the bone - I have since seen how Steven Rinella does it, but I did mine like some farm pig slabs and I over did it. His pressure cooker method finishing on the grill with a sauce sounds good.

After doing them the way I did in my chili I will save all ribs from now on out. Its really not that much trouble to debone them. Just get that outside layer of fat off. Can do at camp in a half hour over 2 beers.

Last deer ribs I ate left a waxy film-like aftertaste. Never again, unless shite gets real tight.

Horrible

Guys, it came out pretty good. I boiled them for almost 3 hours then removed from the water. I then separated the meat from the bones. I added my homemade tomato sauce (I grow my own tomatoes), onions, celery, garlic and cooked them down. I then added my meat back along with some other veggies and let it simmer for another hour. It was very beef like. Wasn't gamey at all.

Meat goat probably is. Some are damn near inedible.

That’s like saying cows aren’t good because a dairy cow tastes like shite.

when you skin the deer cut the ribs at the spine then cut the big slab across the bones into thirds so you have racks that look liek they came from the store. Pressure cook them at 10 lbs for 20 minutes or crock pot for 4 hours until they are tender but can still be handled. Put a rib rub on them and put on the grill to char for at bit and baste with a half and half mixture of cider vinegar and mustard. you will never throw deer ribs away again. I use a saws all to cut mine.

Someone listened to the meat eater podcast this week. that's word for word what they said.

Throw the deer ribs away or cook them for your dog.

I heard this is the best thing to make with the ribs. Any tips?

Tips? Yes, the person telling you that hates you and wants you to spend the next day with some weird waxy feeling in the roof of you mouth. Avoid that person from now on.
