RE: My last venison steak!
We process all our own meat and we do Steaks and burger. We then take the burger and turn other things out of it.
The other place I can best recommend taking steaks from other than the straps is the hind quarters. We do ours bone-in on a saw.
We do not have a saw to do the actual cutting, so we process the dear down and remove the hind qtrs., pack them in a cooler and take them to a local process station where they cut them down into steaks for us. Most places, I would think, that process dear would do this for you for a small fee. I know the one place we go to takes care of it while we wait (15-20 minutes) so we know we are getting our meat back (my biggest fear with letting someone else process our animals. We only ask them to cut the steaks, no packing or wrapping. They then place them in a bag for us to carry out, and we go home and wrap and pack them.
I can tell you that the hind qtrs. are some GREAT eating as steaks!
