Pickled elks feet, yum yum! :chuckle:

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

Tender loins are top of the list for me.

Post by: RadSav on October 08, 2015, 04:59:20 AM: If it bleeds and has four hooves there is no question...tenderloin!
Title: Re: most sought after cut of elk meat??
Post by: huntingbaldguy on October 08, 2015, 05:46:49 AM: Filet mignon.

That said with the jaccard meat tenderizer, backstrap is just about as good as the tenderloin.
Title: Re: most sought after cut of elk meat??
Post by: krout81 on October 09, 2015, 11:19:02 AM: tenderloin :drool: , then back strap are my favorites. Any cut that is cooked right can be the winner. Sear and slow medium rare

Post by: pianoman9701 on October 09, 2015, 11:39:45 AM: 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!

Post by: WSU on October 09, 2015, 11:43:46 AM: 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!
Title: Re: most sought after cut of elk meat??
Post by: ALLTERRAIN on October 11, 2015, 08:13:29 PM: Fresh liver and onion's first, then bacon wrapped tenderloin's :drool:. Great, now I'm hungry!!!!!

Post by: Twang on October 19, 2015, 12:06:55 PM: 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
