it doesnt taste like beef. it tastes like elk. i was raised on elk meat, and honestly beef steak makes me feel ill when i eat very much of it. but i can eat elk all day. i like it alot better then any other meat i have had.
but you have to be careful with the elk meat too, if the animal wasnt taken care of properly in the field it can get a weird taste to it. if it wasnt clean properly and in a short time. if it wasnt hung up long enough...or too long. most of the time when people say a game animal doesnt taste good the animal wasnt prepared right.
elk tends to be tougher then beef, with less fat, but that depends on the animal as well.
one of my favorite dinners, take a big chunk of elk, put it in a crock pot on low early in the morning cook it on low until about an hour before you eat dinner . then add a little seasoning, taters, carrots and some chopped onions and cook on high the last hour. keep adding water to keep it from drying out while it cooks. maybe a little meat tenderizer too.

Elk Meat Taste

It has a unique taste. The meat is a little bit sweeter than beef, but similar. Mainly, it depends upon how it is cooked. You can spice it or put on a sauce to make it taste alot like beef if you want to. It is good, but can be tough if it comes from a bull elk, usually does have more tender meat. enjoy

It has its own unique taste. Its not steak but not really gamey either. its very lean so if he overcooks it at all it wont be so good. when done properly, it is great stuff

Elk is real good, but it does not taste like beef. Just like turkey does not taste like chicken

Doesn't taste quite like beef, but its not gamey either. It tastes so much better than venison. I was a little leery of it at first, but believe me, its good.
