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,,,,,,

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!!

Post by: belkaholic on September 18, 2011, 04:44:12 PM: 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! :drool:

Post by: Harstine Hunter on September 18, 2011, 04:52:13 PM: 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!

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.

Post by: Ridgeratt on September 19, 2011, 05:42:27 AM: 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.

Post by: PolarBear on September 22, 2011, 11:57:41 PM: Elk haggis. Grind up the heart and liver, add oatmeal, beef stock, beef fat, onion, salt and pepper. Place in clean elk or sheep's stomach, sew shut and gently boil for 3-4 hours. Poke a few holes in it to keep it from blowing up all over your kitchen. Serve with steamed or boiled carrots, potato or turnips.

Post by: halflife65 on September 23, 2011, 06:54:48 AM: Well, when I saw the title "The best recipe with an elk meat" I thought you meant with just one elk meat. However, it appears, from the responses that you're getting, that the recipe can have multiple elk meats and, as it turns out, I do have some recipes for that. :chuckle:

Anyway, this is one that someone posted on here last year and I tried it out. Very, very good - works great on deer, too.

Cut the elk steak/roast in 2 inch square chunks. Marinate in the thinnest teriyaki sauce you can find. There are some in the grocery store that are about the consistency of soy sauce. If you get the thick, sugary kind it's going to burn.

After a couple of hours of marinading, wrap each piece in about a half a piece of bacon - just enough that you can make a full circle around it - and pin it in place with a toothpick.

Barbeque it - you'll get some bacon fat flare up on the BBQ, but it's completely manageable - maybe don't put it directly next to the siding of your house or in your living room by the drapes, though. Make sure that you DON'T overcook or it will get tough. When you eat it, make sure that you remember there are toothpicks in it. The end of the toothpick may burn off on the BBQ and be hard to see so let anyone you share it with know not to bite down on it until they are removed.

This was SUPER good and even my wife, who likes elk but not deer, will eat it.

Post by: Bigshooter on September 27, 2011, 09:18:07 PM: cover steaks in flour, hit them with some salt, black pepper, and a little garlic powder. Fry in a cast iron pan. Make some taters and gravy. My favorite.
