Meat Processing options

[Chiro22]

After doing a few Forum searches I wasn't able to find a thread about what are people's favorite things to have a meat processor do with your Antelope (outside of the primal cuts) ie. summer sausage, Snack sticks, sausage ingredients that work best etc.

Antelope meat is so good and tender when handled correctly that I make steaks out of everything possible. The rest get made into fajitas/tacos.

Sticks & jerky.

I am excited to try it. I've heard only good things so far.

Summer sausage or sweet and spicy breakfast sausage cut with bacon or pork fat is a favorite around our place.

Chops. Steaks. Burger. Antelope meat stands on it’s own just fine.

The butcher in Gillette, WY has a bunch of options. I just went with the regular cut, as I need to pack up and fly home.

My first antelope was so bad that I thought sausage might be the only use for it. Turns out it was all the fault of how I cared for it. Got another one this year, took care of it properly, and it is the best wild game I’ve had. As another poster mentioned, everything that can be made into steaks should be. I wouldn’t waste any of it on sausage or pepperoni.

Antelope is for the grill.

Deer are for jerky.

Pretty much this. I do mostly primal cuts, some steak. Only grind the stuff that isn't steak size.

Absolutely! I think it is the best out of elk and deer.

I eat all the main cuts as steaks or roasts....trimmings/scraps get sent in with my deer scraps and mixed into snack sticks, summer sausage, and burger.

Sounds like the verdict is definitely for summer sausage and breakfast sausage.

What did you do wrong? What did you do differently the 2nd time?


You can’t cheat the mountain

The meat eater just did a whole podcast on meat science. Pretty fascinating stuff

Would a tabletop grill be good for the antelope? I've read a review and can’t make up my mind. I’m afraid there’s not enough power
