[vaz,,66]

Salt, pepper that's it.

What pepper? green, red, sweet, hot?

[JPhelps]

Steaks: salt and pepper dip in egg cover in flour.  Cook hot in butter.  I also cook them without the egg and flour.

What pepper? green, red, sweet, hot?

I'll be more specific.  Sea salt and plain black pepper or just Johnny's Seasoning salt is all I ever use.  It meat is good it does not need to be covered up with a bunch of fancy ingredients.  Roasts, water, onion, garlic, celery, salt , pepper and let it sit in a crock pot for a bit.  Keep it simple.  My kids love my chicken fried deer and elk steaks.  Cube steak rolled in flour with black pepper, dipped in egg and rolled in a mix of crushed saltines and ritz crackers, fried in a little bit of vegetable oil until golden brown.  Mmmmm,,,,,,

We have only purchased red meet once in the last 20+ years and that was this August for a birthday.  We use it in the everyday dishes that we normally cook.

Salt and pepper, fry in butter. When the old lady cooks it, she dolls it up a little more.

I also can a lot venison. Cube it, fill up a quart jar, top it off with water and a table spoon of salt, put the lids on and then into the canner for 3 hours. When all is said and done you have you're meat preserved in jars for at least a year and no need for refrigeration.... Super handy. You can make an awesome stroganoff, stew, pulled bbq sandwiches, sloppy joes, meat sauces, burritos, pretty much anything!!

take a big roast, cut it so it rolls out into one long steak. put honey, brown sugar, minced sweet ounins, thick chopped bacon, and what ever dry seasonings you prefer on one side. then as you roll it back up, keep adding your seasonings. use tooth pics or string to hold it back to gether like a roast. cook for about 45 miutes to a hour on the BBQ, all the while putting BBQ sauce on the outside turning it about every 10 minutes or so. when done, the outside will be well done and the inside nice and pink. cut it like a loaf of bread and eat. i have done this with much wild game and it is awesome!

If you want to put some backstrap on the grill, here are a couple of ways to go. Cut the meat into two inch thick steaks. Start with a very hot grill. Marinate the steaks for 15 minutes in McCormicks Meat Marinade. On my grill, I seared it on one side for 5 minutes and the other side for 4 minutes. It was red in the middle when I took it off and covered it in foil while we ate the salad. It'll continue to cook until it's perfect pink inside. Looks just like those filet mignons you see in commercials! If you don't have McCormicks marinade, I like to season with onion powder, garlic powder and lemon pepper.  There's enough salt in the lemon pepper to get it just right. Mmmm good! Wish I still had some backstrap in the freezer!

Elk heart cut across the grain into small chunks, then stir-fried with 2 whole onions, and half a pound of bacon.  Use butter or oil so nothing sticks.  Take heat off when all the onion has caramelized then Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the top.  Oh my is it good.

[Harstine Hunter]

That does sound good, Recurve! I won't wait till elk season to try that, I'll have to fry up a deer heart in a few weeks!

Elk Ragout

Find a dutch oven.  1/2 pound bacon , a goodly portion of elk cubbed, large onion, carrot's, spuds, if you like other veggies it's all good. I will toss is some rudybakers (sp) myself.

Layer the bottom of the pan with bacon then in goes the elk. S&P to taste
Next layer with sliced onion, then the carrot's and then the spuds. S&P again.
Set on the stove and turn on high for 10 minutes, then add 1/3 cup water and cover. Walk away for 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove lid to cook off some of the moisture. Tuff to beat at camp or around home.
