I wanted to make something good out of elk shanks, so I tried making ossa buco out of my bear shanks to practice and they came out awefull.
I have enjoyed everything I have made from bear so far, and it's all been slow cooker meals. This however had zero flavor in the end, it was odd. It was fall off the bone tender and all the connective tissue had been gelatinized, but it tasted like nothing just the texture of meat is all.
I shredded all the left overs, which was all of it, and mixed it with mayo for roast beef sandwiches which is my go to for all roast left overs, but I wish I could have enjoyed the shanks first. If you have any tips or can tell me where I went wrong, please do.
This was how I cooked it
Ingredients:
Bear shank sections cut about 4 inches long
Salt
Pepper
Flour
Peanut oil
Italian seasoning
Chopped carrots
Chopped celery
Onions
Bone broth
I salt and peppered the shanks then coated in flour and browned them in peanut oil.
I then put them in the crock pot, dumped in some bone broth that I mixed with a few tablespoons of Italian seasonings.
I threw the carrots, celery, and onions on top. Then I put the lid on the crock pot which was on low and cooked it for about 9 hours.
