Beef knuckle

[chopsaw]

Bought a beef knuckle from GFS . Wanted to get something that I had not worked with before , and it was $3.30 a lb. so I grabbed one .
Came home , and broke it into sections . Just followed the fat line between the muscles . Saved the trim and made some bologna ( posted in another thread )
This is what I ended up with . Good yield for $30 and some change .

Ground the trim , seasoned with Owens German bologna .

The bigger cuts went to the freezer .
The smallest roast on the left of the first pic . Went for a spin in the 360 for supper that night .

I put it on the shaft , then tie it . Helps to keep it centered I think .
Took it to an internal temp of 135 .
Rested and sliced .


Simple but very good super .

This has great beefy flavor . I think I'll inject the next bigger one and throw it in the mes 30
for sandwich meat .
Thanks for lookin .

That's a fine looking plate! Nothing wrong with several meals for $30 either

Great looking sammie meat !! I will have to add that to my "to do" list.. In my best Roy Scheider voice : "I'm gonna need a bigger list."

Nice! Looks like that was a great meal! And thats a heck of deal! I need to start buying more whole cuts or primary cuts to break down myself. Lots of savings for a little bit of time spent. Not to mention its cut to your liking and you end up with trim for some good sausage making like you did.

Interesting that you posted this. I was at GFS the other day picking up some pork butts to do pulled pork for a dinner last night. While I was there I was looking at the meat section for something to throw in the smoker for dinner that night while I had it fired up (I smoked the 4 butts on Saturday). They had these knuckles there. I looked at them for a while, but I wasn't exactly sure what to do with them. I ended up with a pack of spare ribs instead (3 racks). Looks like you figured it out. Looks awesome!!!

I wasn't exactly sure what to do with them.

I really didn't know either . Knew it was lean . Figured treat it like eye , top or bottom round .
Next time I can get in the door of GFS , i'll get a couple more .
Thanks for looking .
