Tenderloin indeed. Unlike a deer or lope its actually big enough on an elk to do something with.

The hoof rot just adds a little extra tang to those pickled elk feet!

Tender loins are top of the list for me.

Filet mignon.

That said with the jaccard meat tenderizer, backstrap is just about as good as the tenderloin.

tenderloin  :drool: , then back strap are my favorites.  Any cut that is cooked right can be the winner.  Sear and slow medium rare

I just finished off the last of my venison from last year. The round steaks were so good. I do need a freezer full of elk, though. Pronto!

All of them!  I find myself getting more excited for the odd parts that I eat first.  It seems like tradition to eat the liver, heart, and tongue before freezing.  I was deer hunting yesterday and thought very seriously about shooting a little spike just so I could enjoy all those parts that I only get once or twice a year!

Tounge  No joke  Many elk were killed pre 1900 for just the Tounge.  Salted and sent east to the best dinning rooms.  I know what some think who have not ever tried.  Sad.  Takes about 1 minute of google to learn to prep it
