Hind quarters?
I've been butchering my own deer for about 5 years now. Just looking for some advice on what I may be missing (especially hind quarters). Here's what I do...
Front legs:
Take them off first and use meat for grind
Backstraps:
Self explanatory... cut em out and either butterfly or leave whole for the grill.
**Oops forgot about inner tenderloins. They go first (usually don't make it to packagaing [8D]
Neck:
Bigger bucks I cut the neck bone out and make a roast. Smaller deer I just don't see how to make a big enough roast out of it so I'll use whatever good meat I can get off for trim.
** Next I trim all the pieces I missed off the whole front half of the deer until I'm satisfied I got about all I could.
** Then I cut the spine near the hams and drop the skeleton leaving the hind quarters hanging. Then I cut down the middle of the hinds and seperate them. Take them down and cut the legs off.
Hind Quarters:
now this is where I'm still somewhat fuzzy. What I usually do (only way I was taught). I seperate the different muscle groups. Top round, bottom round, center round, sirloin tip, shank(use for grind), and sirloin.
Sirloin tip I butterfly or cut into big steaks (good piece of meat IMO)
Center round I cut into chunks for pan fry with peppers and onions. Dont' really know what else to do with it.
Top and bottom round. This is what I'd like to know what else to do with it. i usually have enough steaks from the straps, tenderloins, sirloins. The rounds IMO aren't really that great of steaks anway. What else can I do with them. I tried making roast out of them but they arent' really big enough. I butterflied one lengthwise and wrapped it up and it came out ok. But i think I'm missing something here. Grind? steaks? pan fry? Roast? What do you do with them?
any suggestions would be appreciated.

RE: Hind quarters?
You got it right. I freeze them as roasts, when I defrost it I decide if it will stay a roast or not, a lot of thimes i'll turn it into swiss steak. cut thin steaks pound with a meat hammer thin, pound flour salt and pepper into the meat, brown in oil then into roast pan or crock pot with tomato sauce, onion,celery, potatoes, carrots, salt and pepper to tastecook until carrots are done. the meat should cut with a fork.

RE: Hind quarters?
So is that the right way to make roasts out of the rounds? Slice them in half (thickness) and roll them up? Do you leave them as they are and wrap them? Or can you leave them as they are and tie them both together?
#5
RE: Hind quarters?
I don't get fancy with the hindquarters, I separate the major chunks as you described(although I don't give them fancy names), and assign them as either "roast" or "stew meat chunks". If the piece is large enough it's a roast, if no tit gets cubed for stew.

RE: Hind quarters?
Throw them in a crock pot with a brown gravy mix, water, seaoning and a can of onion soup and cook all day while at work. When it is done, the meat is falling apart. Put that on some french bread with lettus and mayo. Then you got a good po-boy. If they gravy isn't running down your arms while eatting it, you didn't put enough on.

RE: Hind quarters?
tried making roast out of them but they arent' really big enough. I butterflied one lengthwise and wrapped it up and it came out ok. But i think I'm missing something here. Grind? steaks? pan fry? Roast? What do you do with them?
After I take off all the neck meat I cut the rest of the neck bone into manageable chunks and add to spagetti sauce, then pick the cooked meat off. Very tender. or I use along with a lamb bone for scotch broth or cabbage and lamb stew.
Lamb Bone and Venison Neck Bone
Chopped cabbage
Salt, pepper and Peppercorns
Onion ,carrots celery
2 tbls butter.flour.
Venison and Cabbage Stew with Lamb Bone for Flavoring
Simmer lamb and neck bone, with a slice of onion, 1carrott, and a stalk of celery, in water along with a tsp salt and 10 peppercorns.
Make Roux from Flour and Butter
Chop Cabbage ,
Cool Bones and Broth, Strain Broth and pick meat off.
Mix Meat with Cabbage,1 slice chopped onion, 1 finely chopped carrot.
Bake at 300 for about 1 ½ hours. Drain broth into roux , mix in 1/2cup sour cream and add back to stew.
