Venison fajitas

[bughunter]

Just cooked up some venison fajita meat that we got from daughter in law and wondering, what cut of meat are venison fajitas made of ???

I've always used the flanks to make fajitas. It's the piece of meat that's behind the rib cage and goes towards the hind quarter area.

But if you tenderize it you can pretty much use any cut.

Here recently to make beef fajitas I have been buying flat iron steaks and having the butcher run it through the tenderizer and they come out fantastic for a lot cheaper.

I make them out of hams and shoulders.
Separate individual muscles, remove sinews.
Pretend like you are filleting a fish, slicing 1/2- 3/4" thick sheets of steak flatways across the muscle face. Run those through a tenderizer or flatten with a mallet.
Then I coat them in fajita seasoning and freeze them flat. They are excellent. Just thaw cook and slice CROSS-GRAIN.

the word fajita in Spanish loosely translates to little belt, so its always been skirt steak but when I see chicken fajitas and shrimp fajitas I guess you can use any cut you want.its more of a stir fry now on a hot flat griddle than cooked over a mesquite grill imho

We use ham steaks for our venison fajita. I usually don't even tenderize it, just cook it rare.
