Deer Steaks???

[Bucksaw]

OK, so in Texas, it may be considered sacrilegious, but I am looking for some different ideas to do with my deer besides the old standbys of burger, sausage, and sliced backstrap. I got to watching "Food Paradise" on Travel channel, and they had a steak house that served elk chops, so I got to thinking about what kind of steaks could you cut from a whitetail? I figured chops might be something to try and you could get some "fillet" if you cut the strap thick enough, but is there any other steak-like cut that would be worth trying to get from a deer? Obviously it would have to be a bigger animal, as a small doe wont yield a steak large enough to feed anyone. Just wondering what others have had cut from their deer that aren't exactly the norm.

I always steak out the round in the hams. It's what chicken fried steak is all about. Grill the tenders and backstraps ( bacon wrapped ).. The rest is usually ground for burger and sausage.

Marinade in a mixture of canola oil, montreal steak seasoning, pepper, garlic, lemon juice and some worchestire sauce. Overnite then on the grill it goes

I cut ham steaks off every one of my deer to throw on the grill. Hard to beat imo. I will butterfly them to make them a little bigger.

Im thinking less about ham steaks, and more loin cuts like typical cuts of beef; like deer ribeyes, porterhouse, sirloin, strip, etc. Obviously they wont be as big or as marbled, but can they be cut and are they worth the work?

I make gravy type meals....chile negro, guisado, chile Colorado, bistek ranchero, etc. Ground is boring.

Sheep or pigs.....that's paradise . Way more you can do with them than you can with deer, mostly from the flavor and fat content.

I have a method for smoking a full hindquarter that comes out as good as most peoples briskets. Best tacos ever with some fresh BoBSalsa.

Pepper crusted backstrap is the cat's meow, but it will make you cuss at the crappy food every time you go to a steakhouse!

That looks so good I had to stop myself from licking my phone.

I've had the processor cut my hams into steaks and leave the bone in. I marinade them and throw em on the grill just like any other steak.
