Quit being results-oriented just because everyone folded. You have 7xBBs, you are in late position, it's open, and you have two big stacks behind you. If you are ever going to get called, the time is now because your push will look like a steal.

Min-raising or anything else like that is more indicative of a monster than pushing. Just push, and be happy that you added another ~%20 to your stack.

Readless its safe to assume that people will see much more strength in a standard raise from a 7BB stack than from a shove from that stack. So in almost ever situation a shove is the best play here.

In a $6.50, minraising or 250 might get more value.

As you move up stakes to where people start paying attention, this would basically give away the strength of your hand so you'd want to push since that's your only move with 7 BBs with pretty much any hand besides aces.

I think you should just push and show. You're unlucky that nobody had a semi-decent hand to call you with, but that's poker. At least you jacked the blinds and it'll help cover future shoves with junk.
