Sandhill Crane Steaks - How to Cook

[@strixoutdoors]

So, So good. My only regret is not having a lot more crane meat in the freezer.

[@Gage888]

Protected here in Florida smh 🤤 rib-eye of the sky

[@codyjensen7252]

Looked great man good video

[@MIRUSTICS]

GAWD DAMN that is a killer meat right there... You won't be disappointed if you get the chance to eat this...

[@kandyandruch2695]

I’ll try this weekend

[@chasehall3373]

Good video

[@InappropriateShorts]

7:21 why not beef tallow? as you said, the butter scorches pretty easily

[@strixoutdoors]

Beef tallow would work also although may smoke easily too depending (Wagyu for example). I've migrated to using some peanut oil and a bit of butter. Having better results with that now.

A weed burner...lmao you so special Jess. The Crane looks incredible good job

[@strixoutdoors]

It's called a weed burner at Harbor Freight... not talking about the MJ type either..hahahaha. It's a (prickly) pear burner in my parts though. I don't think most people actually know why it has that name.

[@strixoutdoors]

I got another one coming soon of the thighs I cooked. Was trying to think what M P would say and I don't think I did it justice but it was soo so good.

[@richardsmith1289]

Nothing like the taste off some good burnt butter.

[@realmetis8002]

And garlic 🤣🤣🤣

[@dukehoner2635]

Where’d you get the crane meat?

[@strixoutdoors]

I hunted them and shot my limit here in Texas.

[@Undead_Nightmare]

Anyone else notice the blood and juice on the cutting board made a bird shape 😂

[@strixoutdoors]

Hahahaha.. i see it now. I've got a crane hunt lined up for this Sunday. I hope we have some luck. Been looking forward to it for a long time.

[@michaelmccorry7704]

Protected here in Michigan. Theyre taking over fields and crops by the thousands tho. Idk why they wont open a hunting season for them? They get hit by cars daily and ruin crops. Not to mention shitting alover yards if you live on a lake.

[@strixoutdoors]

I hope they do open a season for them in your state. They are fun to hunt and really good to eat.

[@delotte2321]

Wont you get lead poisoning?

[@strixoutdoors]

No. We actually hunt sandhills with steel shot as the season coincides with goose season and we sometimes get shots at geese. In any case, I try my best to pick out any pellets that could possibly get left in the meat.

[@InappropriateShorts]

1:40 missed your goal

[@TheCsel]

weird i'd expected it to be more like chicken, instead its like steak.

[@strixoutdoors]

Yes, very much like steak. That's why they call it "ribeye in the sky"

[@cordsmith7937]

butter immediately burned lol

[@thehooksetter9025]

Too much blood medium for me

[@strixoutdoors]

It looks more red in the video than in person. I cook them a bit more for the kids but like any venison, you really don't want to overcook the meat.

[@L0di]

The butter just burnt immediately

[@strixoutdoors]

It is a fine line I've found and some butter burns quicker than others. I've started using peanut oil with some butter added and dropped the temp a bit.

[@realmetis8002]

​@strixoutdoors awesome..I felt it was way to hot

[@pops1pops178]

Yuk

[@strixoutdoors]

It's quite delicious

[@NaNa-wz9ei]

Waah? People actually eat sandhill cranes? 😳

[@strixoutdoors]

Yes and it's very good. Such an awesome and interesting bird. Would know anything about them until I started hunting them.

[@SpacedOutJesus]

Was lucky to try some for the first time this past weekend and it was AMAZING. Tasted almost indistinguishable from beef. Very very close to a ribeye, but not as fatty. Not sure which I prefer now, honestly
