Default Bone in deer ribs.

I highly recommend them. Very tasty. Four hours in the crockpot and finished on the grill.

YUM!!

Always nice to utilize rib meat in other ways than just the grinder. Have never tried deer ribs this way yet but will be now.
Thanks for sharing & the pic

This year I took a very young fawn, specifically to try out 'rack of deer'! Same as rack of lamb, - actually a standing rib roast. Turned out very well.

The Croc pot must be the key difference. I have tried them cooked over the grill as well as cooked in the oven and they plain and simple SUCKED. We grind it now too. Might have to try Chuck's method but to be honest, between Pork and Beef ribs that are so good, and easy to do, it is hard to make the argument to not just grind the deer ribs.

Does the fat render during the slow cook?

Yes I'm sure it would render to a point slow cooking like that just like any other meat.

Even the meat we grind we remove all of the wild game fat from it. To me, that tallowy fat is a big reason so many don't like wild game flavour. We also remove all bone from all cuts when butchering because that is another source of a strong wild flavour. Probably a big part of the reason I never liked bone in, fat still in, deer ribs.

I used to be of the same opinion. But bone in venison shoulder roasts are one of the finest eating parts of the animal.

To the OP

Excellent way to cook them!

Just a question for you, do you like lamb chops with fat on them?

I’m addressing Dean’s comments regarding removing bone from all cuts. Which I generally agree with.

Those look awesome Chuck! I've never removed the ribs before (usually do gutless method) - is it pretty straight forward to do with a skill saw or something? I'd like to try one day - ribs or even a tomahawk steak.

Thanks!

Lamb is okay as long as it isn't too much fat. Once they mature into Mutton in my opinion it isn't fit to eat unless completely de-boned, de-fatted and well spiced/marinated. Even then I would have to be out of all other red meat before I ate it. Mutton tastes like sucking on an old wool sweater.

When we do up our deer or moose ribs we boil them in water for about an hr before we put them in the slow cooker with a sweet and sour sauce
The boiling seems to to take a away the tallowy taste, they are much tastier then
When there done in the slow cooker the meat is falling off the bones , we just serve them with rice makes a great meal

That sounds like a great idea!

This is what I've noticed over the years, people that don't enjoy lamb don't really enjoy deer all that much as well.
Lots of people don't enjoy fish either.
For me a nice thick bone in fatty deer chop seared for two minutes each side and then on to the plate with potatoes and a Greek salad is damn hard to beat.
And a glass of red wine
