Elk Recipes

[Sean Gadhar]

Someone asked me for some of my elk recipes.

:surrender: I admit I am a fly by the seat of my pants cook. With elk somewhat & with mule deer for sure, I cook low & slow or super fast (think 3 minutes a side on shockingly hot skill)

So I tried to pay attention to how I made this (low & slow) 1st elk roast from my 2014 bull.




roast; about 2 1/2 Lbs.
1 med onion, diced
3 potatoes, peeled & diced
3 carrots, diced
1 1/2 cloves garlic minced
1 can Campbell's "golden mushroom"
1/2 a soup can of water
1/2 a soup can of coffee
1 table spoon dry cranberries

Browned the roast on all sides & the onions.

Preheated the oven to 300f, placed browned roast on some carrot chunks in a lightly oiled baking dish.
Added onions & garlic on top.
Carrots & potatoes all around.




Mixed soup, water, and coffee and covered all with the mix.
Cranberries on top.



Covered with foil and slow roasted dropping the heat to 275 after 1/2 an hour total cook time about 1 1/2 hours.



Salt & pepper to taste, served with rice & a little cilantro to brighten :wink:




Sorry about some of the photos being fuzzy, might have been because I took them over a heating stove :idunno:

First elk hunt I was on (lasted 32 days), my brother killed a real nice 6x6 on the first day. Quartered and Packed to camp and hung in a tree behind the camp. I was the camp cook. We ate pan fried elk steak for 30 days. YUM. BOY!!!!! PAN FRIED ELK STEAK ON A COLD BISCUIT AT LUNCH WITH YOUR HOT FEET IN CREEK TO COOL IS SURE WONDERFUL.

Man you go me wanting a roast :wink:
My daughter & her husband Moved to M.T 5 years ago. Elk and other wild game is the only meat they eat, Now! The problem with game meat, she said, is there is no fat in the meat. And fat makes the meat tenderer. She said, she tried all kinds of fat but none of them did the job. Then someone form M.T told her to try duck fat. My daughter said she injects the Elk / wild game, with the duck fat and she said they even grill the meat now.
There is a place that she orders duck fat, and they mail it to her.
