A deer's shoulder does a lot of work during its lifetime, so this Venison cut is very lean and flavorful, but less tender than other cuts. Prepare using slow, moist cooking methods like braising or stewing and it will become delightfully tender and impart fabulous flavor. It can also be ground for use in burgers, sausages, meatballs and other ground meat dishes.
