Deer Ribs

Do whatever you have to do to remove fat. They are delicious but the fat can make for an unpleasant eating experience when it coats the inside of your mouth and gets super waxy. I trimmed most of the fat with a knife but your boiling method might work.

Look up the Steve rinella YouTube video/recipe. He says to braise or pressure cook then do rub, throw them on the grill and sauce.

I've cooked my share of deer ribs over the years and no matter how I fix them, they always wind up a bit on the chewy side.

I'll trim them, boil them in seasoning, remove the meat from the bones and chop it up and then cook it again with onion, bell pepper, garlic, wet and dry seasonings and BBQ sauce to make my version of "Sloppy Deer". Now, it tastes good, but definitely has a chew to it.

Next time I get some ribs I will put them in my pressure cooker to see how that does as far as tenderizing them.

I started doing them this way and they’re very good.

Season, BBQ for a few minutes, and then put them in the pressure cooker for 35-45 minutes depending on thickness.

They'll be falling off the bone tender without removing anything during preparation.

+1. Here you are OP. He has some great game recipes.

My uncle saved all the meat off the deer ribs and made a big sauce picaunt every year for Christmas Eve. He was in a hunting club and took unwanted ribs, cut the meat off and saved it. Really looked forward to that every Christmas. RIP Nonc Junior

My cousin did this once. They tasted good, but there’s just not much meat there. I guesss it’s better than wasting it like I usually do.
