Elk Steaks with Green Peppercorn Sauce

Sun, 10 Oct 1999 18:36:00 -0400

Elk is perhaps the finest of all the venison meats. It is very fine grained and mild flavoured, almost like beef. Like all wild venison, it is very lean so it benefits from larding, barding and marinading. With that in mind, you can treat it like beef. Steaks are best grilled, cooked rare or at most medium rare. Well done meat will be tough due to the lack of fat. -- posted by Jim Weller

Posting on request....haven't tried it but not for lack of trying, the beasties elude me. According to the recipe I have, this is best water-smoked because it stays juicier and that it tastes really good sliced paper-thin and served cold. Let me know how it turns out! -- posted by Hey Jude

Venison Steak Marinade

Tue, 26 Apr 2005 17:13:56 -0400

This is the only steak my family will eat. They do not even like NY strip any more. We have our meat processor cut our venison steaks to about 1 inch thick, then I marinate and grill to medium rare. Better than beef and better for you too! Our traditional family Christmas Eve dinner menu is always venison steak and shrimp scampi! -- posted by JustJan

Sweet Bacon-Wrapped Venison Tenderloin

Fri, 30 Sep 2005 15:30:01 -0400

The #1 Rated Deer Recipe on RecipeZaar since 2005! It's Deer Season again, and you know what that means- A lot of 'Zaar Chefs trying out THE Venison recipe again or for the first time. Thanks for all the reviews. Hands-down BEST deer meat recipe in America. Even those who don't like wild game meat will fight for a piece of this. **I will warn you, that this creates almost a "Candy Tenderloin." You can see from the reviews how many people love it, but if you're looking for a gamey dish that brings out the purely meaty taste of your Venison, this is not for you. -- posted by TCSmoooth

Grilled Elk Steaks

Thu, 03 Nov 2005 09:56:40 -0500

My husband brought home a freezers worth of elk meat from a hunt in Montana. I am a firm believer in eating whatever is brought home from a hunt. I really love elk meat! It has a mild flavor and is a good source of lean protein. If marinated, even the "tougher" cuts come out great. I recommend cooking to medium/medium rare for ideal tenderness, but I have had it cooked well done and it is still tasty. My husband remembers the smell of the field dressing the elk in full rut, so I came up with the recipe to "help" him enjoy elk as much as I do. -- posted by Marianne5

Sweet Brandy Elk Sausage With Caramelized Apples

Thu, 02 Feb 2006 22:35:42 -0500

This comes from the Coeur d'Alene Inn and the North Idaho College Wild Game Feast. You can always substitue the elk sausage for a less gamier meat. Very easy and very elegant. -- posted by Sarah_Star

Stuffed Venison Chops or Steaks

Mon, 08 May 2006 14:02:42 -0400

This is an updated version of my old recipe using ziplock bag and precooked bacon bits or pieces. The tenderness of the meat is because milk is used.This can be used with beef or buffalo also. -- posted by Montana Heart Song

Venison Steak Strips

Tue, 06 Feb 2007 21:08:54 -0500

Thin strips of steak are marinated in a lime and chipotle chili sauce, breaded and then fried in oil. I made this recipe to take the gamey flavor out of venison steaks, but it works great for any type of steaks or even for homemade chicken strips. Cook time includes time to marinade. -- posted by Tee Lee

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 12:14:47 -0400

This is from Cooking Light from a few years back most likely. You can also make using venison, buffalo or lean beef instead of elk. Make a day ahead and cool to room temperature then refrigerate. You can also freeze leftovers in individual freezer-safe zip-top plastic back for up to two months. Great for making ahead. -- posted by Little Suzy Homemaker

Jerry's "italian" Elk (Or Beef)

Thu, 11 Oct 2007 00:47:05 -0400

My husband found the basic part of this recipe in a Marshall Fields employees cookbook. He has added some touches of his own. We first cooked this recipe for a Christmas Party and decided to try it with Elk (and not tell our guests that it was Elk until afterwards). We thought we made a large batch so we could have leftovers - but don't count on it!!!! -- posted by Mrs. Strictly Repairs

This is another dish my mom made when I was a kid that I just had to get the recipe for. We have had it using deer, elk, and antelope depending on what we had on hand so it can be versatile. You can even use beef I am sure. It is very simple to make as well. Great for those days you don't have a lot of time! -- posted by CulinaryExplorer

I found this at a web sight for wild game called, justgamerecipes.com.

Pork Chops or Pork Ribs With Apricot Pineapple Sauce

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 00:25:55 -0400

Meat is browned with fat drained. Ribs are cut in 2 or 3 rib pieces The sauce is poured over and the meat is baked . Everything can be made ahead of time, refrigerated and then baked. I like to use pork chops but any type of chop can be used, venison, elk, buffalo or beef round steak cut in serving pieces. Grilled pineapple can be served as a side dish with rice or noodles or mashed potatoes. The recipe started from using pineapple juice thickened with cornstarch and soaked dried apricots; years ago there was not combination preserves to the present recipe posted.Photos show pork chops, steak and maui maui fish. It is delicious with all meats. -- posted by Montana Heart Song

Venison Leg Roast With Cranberry and Port Stuffing

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 00:37:34 -0400

My husband recently went hunting and brought home a deer. Now we have a freezer full and I have been searching for recipes - thanks to all of you who have posted Venison Recipes. Hubby and I came up with this idea ourselves and it turned out beautifully. We used a boned leg, but you could use any roasting cut, just butterfly it or create a pouch for the stuffing. You could use other herbs and flavourings, but the Cranberries and Port really compliment the Venison. Prep. time does not include the soaking time. -- posted by Erin Randall

Moose Meat & Sauerkraut

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 00:07:25 -0400

When Dad would go hunting this is one of my fav's. If your not a Kraut eater forget it! If you are enjoy this one. I usually get the neck roast of the elk,moose, or beef to do this with along with Dad's homemade Kraut. -- posted by Cheri J

Sausage and Beans

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 01:21:54 -0400

The original recipe comes from Taste of Home - but I altered some things for what I had and family preference. For the sausage in this recipe - I used elk/deer sausage that our family friend gave to us. You could use any kielbasa type sausage as well. This recipe has a lot of sauce - which we feel is perfect for sopping up with a good loaf of bread! Yield and time are approximate. -- posted by Chef on the coast

Basil Peppercorn Steak Rub

Tue, 20 May 2008 17:37:43 -0400

this recipe works really good on steaks and wild game. would rub meat 45 minutes ahead of time for best flavor. But can be put on meat right before being put on grill. makes enough for about ten steaks or a 3 lb roast. Came up with this recipe from having to make brushetta and used the leftover ingredients for the entree. -- posted by Chef #696415

Elkiladas -- Elk or Beef Enchiladas

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:32:57 -0400

I am fortunate to get a supply of ground elk meat every winter from my father in-law, who is an avid hunter, and so thought I'd share a favorite recipe. You can substitute beef, pork, venison, chicken, or any other ground meat -- but the richness of the elk seems to go well with the smoky spiciness of the seasonings. Elk is very lean, full of protein, and organic...it's also yummy. :-) The sauce is a tangy, verde (green) style sauce, but feel free to use bottled or canned sauce, either green or red, if you want to cut down on the prep time. -- posted by JaneLi

Elk Tenderloin filled with Grand Marnier Scallops Yield: 4 This particular Dish is great on a BBQ. Things You Must Do the Day Before: marinate Jumbo Scallops in 1 oz of Grand Marnier the day before. Things You Must Not Do : Do Not Cut Your Bacon. it will be used to wrap the Scallops. Do not over cook Your Scallops! Most over cook their Scallops. They must be juicy and not dry at all. They may even look raw to you in the inside - but trust me - they are not. Check the internal temperature. -- posted by Chefbari

Teriyaki Jerky

After borrowing my mums dehydrator, I lost my mind and started dehydrating everything. When I suddenly remembered all the gamey meat, I refuse to eat (I hate the gamey flavor), I decided to try making it into jerky, that I knew my husband at least, would like. After searching the internet over, I found this one, and added my own hutspuh to it. It turned out so well, I even like it! And everyone I've offered it to wants more. I've made it with beef, deer and elk now, and it always turns out marvelous! I hope you like as much as we have! -- posted by Luvinmyfamily
