![]() ![]() Remember to always cut against the grain when cutting steaks. This is kept whole, cooked whole and cut into medallion steaks. Aside from those three major cuts, there is also the eye of round, which kind of looks like a mini backstrap and we treat it as such. The top and bottom rounds are often saved for roasts, but I’ve also gotten some great steaks off of these cuts as they don’t have much silver skin on the inside of them. ![]() Our sirloins are always kept whole and saved for roasts. Three major roasts can be found here: the top round, bottom round and sirloin. They’re a great “set it and forget it” type of cut with the aid of a crockpot, of course. Roasts work great for our household as they don’t take a ton of effort to prep. Personally, I go fairly roast heavy here. From there, let your imagination run wild. Once separated from the bone, a person can almost separate the muscle groups apart by hand. Because of those large muscle groups, breaking down a hindquarter is also pretty simple. They seem to hold the highest variety - due to their size - and are dang tasty. The hindquarters are probably my favorite part of any game animal. What I lay out below are suggestions purely based upon my own experience and the experience of others I’m acquainted with. I’m sure there are better ways of doing things, but this works for me. Might have to chew a little more, but Rome wasn’t built overnight. It’ll taste the same no matter how sloppy your cutting is. Sure, there are better ways of cutting meat than others (against the grain/with the grain), but in the end it’s just meat. I know when I started, I was paranoid about doing it the wrong way. The reason I bring this up is that I feel like many folks try to overcomplicate meat processing - as if they’re going to do it wrong. The only difference is that we’re cutting out the middleman and processing the meat ourselves. That deer or elk is no different in terms of cuts. We go to the store and buy beef, pork, etc. It’s just meat and there’s no reason to be intimidated by it. All of that fresh game meat at your feet is just that. Before we dive into animal parts, let’s get something straight. ![]()
