Deer ribs

[archer19]

Anybody eat'em.
Give me a good recipe, or tell me how to fix'em

I tried it once and never did again. Deer fat is really gross. Its like wax and it coats the inside of your mouth. I now grind all of the rib meat.

I think you need to smoke them until all of the fat is gone and then wrap them up in foil and pour a little wickers in with them and then pop them in the oven and steam the wickers into them to rehydrate them because once you smoke the fat out, the meat is like jerky. This is just my experience. Someone else may have had better experiences with it.

Tried them one time and one time only. They were horrible.
The people that fixed them can cook too so it wasn't how they were cooked they were just bad.

1. remove tenderloins
2. remove shoulders
3. trim neck meat off
4. sever back bone with appropriate saw
5. transport rib cage to nearest ditch (or trash bag for suburbanites)

Yep, best use of deer ribs ever.............line the inside of the trash dumpster.

So I'm getting the picture that it's not just my cooking

Best smoked but they are eatable in a crockpot with a couple bottles of your favorite BBQ sauce.

Your cooking is still bad, just worse if you cook deer ribs..........lmbo.

I must have fed you before.

Got a freezer full of them, just hoping not to waste.
Maybe make sausage out of them?

 

[JimFromTN]

You need to peel each layer of meat off and get rid of the fat between each layer, then grind and add your favorite sausage spices.

My boy is crazy about pork ribs, so a couple years ago I decided I would barbecue some deer ribs just for him. I normally chunk them too.
Soaked them in some Moore's marinade for about 45 minutes, put them on the electric smoker over some hickory, and kept them covered with a light coat of Sweet baby Ray's BBQ sauce for a couple hours. He thought they were really good.
I had a couple of them and thought so too.
Took the other rack down to work and got a lot of compliments on them. Two years later I still have guys asking me when I am going to do some more deer ribs and bring them in.

Of course, hickory smoke, Moore's and Baby Ray's makes just about anything taste good. I'm going to do some more next year.

I generally use deer ribs as a point of aim.

Boil them for one hour in salty water. Drain water off and add fresh water without salt and bring to boil once more. Add ribs while still steaming hot to a gallon sized zip-loc with your favorite barbecue sauce and seasoning and knead the flavor into the meat while it's still in the bag. Once the meat is cooled and thoroughly mixed with seasoning and barbecue, put it in the fridge for 24 hours. The next day, grill to preference and serve it up.

Deer ribs, beef, or pork are better this way than any restaurant ribs I've ever eaten... but then again - I also make my own sauce...

 

[Rebel]

the meate between the ribs also makes great jerky!

One of my first jobs was pulling trap and skeet. One of the members brought some and grilled them up at the club. I don't know what he did before, but they were some of the best tasting things I ever had. Whis I knew what he did.

Tried Rebel's recipe yesterday, it was good but you need to keep the ribs warm as you're eating them so the fat doesn't harden up.

Glad you liked it basset. When I've killed a fat deer I have had to trim away the fat. I hunt in Jackson Co. Seems like most of the deer I've killed there over the last few years were pretty thin and what little fat they had just boiled right off of 'em. Try that same recipe with beef short ribs... You will develop a craving for ribs afterward like a junkie needing a fix.

this was indeed a fat doe, from Humphreys County... have one more set of ribs in the freezer, may try them this weekend. processor said he'd give me all the ribs I wanted if I showed up on a day they were cutting, sounds like we need to plan on a big rib cookout next season. the Paula Deen steak spice makes a good rub, I expect the Weber would too.

I always ask processors to save the ribs and the neck for me, some good eatin' there. the neck makes some nice barbecue... put it in the slow cooker till the meat falls off, then remove bones, add sauce, cook awhile longer.
