I've never used beef, but on deer, I just cut them out, remove any meat, and then set them out to dry.

They're kind of stinky, greasy, and harder than necessary to strip. But the coyotes like to dig up the legs after ya say they aren't worth messing with, bury them, and go back to using white tail tendons. It's good to experiment, that's the way we learn, so give it a shot, and good luck.
