First elk!!! Need recipes!!!

I got my first elk ever this past weekend (archery). Now I need some good recipes because I would like to bring something good to Christmas dinner.

That stuff is horrible tasting, I'll be down to get it to use for bait so you won't have to choke it down!   

























Look in the cooking section here, lots of good recipes there.

It's all good just don't over cook it! Keep this in mind when cutting your steaks.

Take a chunk of elk loin and coat it in vegetable oil, then put a heavy coating of Montreal Steak Seasoning over the entire piece.  Put it on a very hot grill and grill about 3-4 minutes per side, until it's rare or medium rare in the center.  Slice very thinly across the grain and enjoy!

Congrats Jordan......They key is not to overcook it, otherwise do whatever you would do with beef.  My favorite is thinly slices steak lightly breaded with flour, salt and pepper and cooked on the stove top with butter (Not margarine).  Serve with sauteed mushrooms and onions.  If you even dare add ketchup or bbq sauce you are a sick sick man......don't ruin the wonderful flavor of a good elk steak with any sauce.       A little pink in the middle is just fine, you will ruin it if you overcook it.   

Again congrats on a great hunt.

I thin slice a lot of the tougher front shoulder steaks and neck meat for stir frys and stroganoff. Also fry up the thin slices with a little salt and pepper then add some onion, mushrooms,  and a pkg of brown gravy mix. Dump over some smashed baby reds and yum.

A day like today, make a stew.
I have one simmering now.

Butter, lots of salt and pepper. And don't over cook. Goes from perfect to well done and dry by the time you grab the next beer. Let sit off the heat for 5 min and enjoy. That's my favorite way.

We can a lot of stew meat too, perfect for tossing in the crock pot with veggies and such.

Thanks everyone for the info. I will have to try a few of these and post back with how they turned out.

Slice thin and add heat..............

MMMM thin sliced fry up with a little olive oil season with garlic, salt and pepper.  I can just eat it like popcorn.
Although a nice bed of noodles with butter and parmesan makes it even better.

My favorite is backstrap steaks about 1\2 in thick pan fried with butter mashed potatoes gravy from the pan drippings and green beans....... My all time favorite and just some salt and pepper

A little salt, a little pepper and a hot grill.
