How To Cook ELk Meat?

Question

My husband received some elk meat cut into steaks. I have no idea how to prepare or cook it? Should I cook in the oven or on top of the stove. Help, Need some suggestions.

Answer 1

Elk steaks
Kosher salt
Cracked Black Peppercorns
1 cup red wine
1/2 pt Heavy Whipping Cream


Elk meat can be gamey, so first, soak the meat in ice cold water for a few hours, to make sure most of the blood has come out. Next, coat in kosher salt and let sit about 30 minutes, so the steak comes to room temp. The kosher salt will help draw moisture to the surface of the steak. Brush off the excess salt, and coat both sides in cracked black pepper. Heat a stainless steel skillet to med heat, and sear the steak on both sides. Then, cook until desired doneness. Remove steaks, and set range temp to low. Pour red wine into skillet, and whisk until all the remaining crust is disolved. Whisk in whipping cream, and reduce by half. Pour over steaks and enjoy.

Answer 2

I have found that cooking Elk for a long time until the meat is falling apart takes away the gamy taste and also it will never be tough like when you grill it or pan fry.
This recipe is simple and delicious!

My daughter has Elk every year since my son-in-law hunts. She always soaks it in milk before cooking it. Then you can cook it the way you would beef. Because it is a much leaner meat than beef you will need to add oil/butter or something to keep it from sticking if you fry it. Really good with a little salt/pepper, dredged in flour, quick fried till brown. Turn the heat low and cover, let simmer for about 30 min. for it to get tender. It does have a really good taste, so happy cooking and enjoy.

Answer 4

I always marinate it first. It can be tougher than beef and sometimes has an odd odor when you cook it. You can grill it, you can cook it just as you would a beef steak. The marinade helps to tenderize it and make the smell more like what you are used to. Don't over cook it though, that will make it really tough.

Answer 5

i would not prepare dinner Elk into chili in case you prefer to get the essence and style of the beef. The spices and flavors will over capability the flavour of the beef. Make a burger or small meatballs in case you prefer to style the Elk's real style. in spite of the indisputable fact that, in case you're able to do chili follow Bison because it particularly is a closer style and leanness than hamburger.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there.

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 7

Try finding a recipe for venison, should cook about the same with similar spices.

Answer 8

I made elk kabobs, we just rubbed the meat with olive oil, seasoning (your choice) and slid them onto skewers with bell peppers, onion and tomato, then grilled, they were great!

Answer 9

Cook them exactly like you would beef steaks.
