cuts of venison

Post by TerribleTed » Wed Nov 28, 2012 7:32 am

well this last doe i made my Fred flinstone steaks with the hams. According to cut charts a tradition cut. A 1 inch cut right thru the whole ham look like an ham steak from the grocery store. I also process the ribs and cut them like beefs short ribs was really easy to cut them with minimum breaking. i used a wood mallet and my butcher knife and they cut easy. It did make processing fast. I usually separate the ham into roast and ether steak them.

How did you slice the ham into steaks? I wish I had a band saw to do just that. We used to take whole hams to the butcher and have them sliced.
I am going to be curing some whole bone-in pork hams and then smoking them slowly in my smoker(I got the ham nets on order so I can hang them in the smoker)
I will need to find a way to slice them when I am done

I use a knife to cut to the bone. I make all the cuts first. Then a dedicated meat saw saw with a long blade. I get the blade number for what works the best. when i get home.

Put a rubber glove over the blade and around the moving arm and tape it in place. Keep meat from getting into all the holes and cracks. A battery saw saw is great when you hunt allover the state. I have sawed hogs right down the middle at the cleaning stations in wmas.

I have a plug in sawz all and I use it. I like to cut the shanks and hocks off of hams and shoulders so they have a clean cut and fit in stuff better.
