Shank Soup

[518BowSlayer]

Don't throw that shank meat in the grinder, slow cook it and it's some of the best meat on your deer. This came out really nice especially on a cold winter's day.

 

2 front shanks

bacon (cut in small strips)

fresh thyme

fresh rosemary

pack of onion soup mix

beef broth

red wine

soy sauce

 

all thrown in the slow cooker for 4 hours

 

red onion

celery

carrots

fresh mushrooms

 

went in for the remaining 4 hours

 

was gonna throw in some egg noodles but it didn't need it

 

here's what it looked like halfway through

 

all the meat fell right off the bone and all the connective tissue became soft and delicious

 

Finished product

 

did something similar with a bone in neck roast but cooked the liquid down to a thick gravy, I think that was even better but it didn't last long enough to take pictures
