Some of the most flavorful venison is located between the ribs of the animal. However, the ribs are often discarded or the rib meat is incorporated into ground venison. Even though the ribs may not be quite as meaty as pork or beef ribs, the distinctive flavor makes them worth keeping. Cut the slabs into serving-size pieces, then prepare mouthwatering ribs using a variety of methods and flavorful sauces.
