Elk Steak

[browneyesvictim]

I did a little trading with a very good friend of mine. I scored some fresh ELK steak in trade for a extra 36" Blackstone griddle top I had. I'm VERY picky about what and how "others" treat and process their game. All I can say, is when done right, it is LIGHTS OUT! It was a good trade.

Seasoned with Johnnies, Pepper and Garlic

Here is the assembly line. Simply rolled in flour and fried in bacon grease in a cast iron pan. I like to add a little more granulated garlic when the flour gets wet.

Getting a nice crust.

Steamed carrots with a little salt, a pat of butter and parsley.

Plated. This batch got a tiny bit overdone while I was taking pictures. Still VERY tender juicy and flavorful. I do like my venison and Elk a little pink (Medium to Medium Well). The carrots are a perfect pairing.
Thanks for looking

Gotta agree here!! Several years ago a friend gave me an Elk tenderloin that I lightly seasoned and cooked on the grill. To this day, it was one of the best cuts of meat I've ever had!! Sure would like to score a few of those steaks....and another tenderloin. Great looking stuff and a big LIKE!!

Wow, it doesn't get any better than that! About 12 years back I got drawn to whack a CA Tule elk cow, it was some of the best meat and turned into some of the best sausage I ever made. Like! RAY

Some of the best meat on earth. Haven't had any since my last hunt in 94. Drooling over what your cooking and that is a fact.

Sounds like a very good trade on both ends. Elk steak is darn tough to beat.

Thanks Sandyut. I usually hunt, but the freezer has been short of venison for the last 2 years. This was a very welcome barter for sure.

Thank you disco. I don't think I could ever get tired of it. Luckilly Ive got a few more packages and some ground too! Thanks for the like.

Thank you Ray. I agree. Probably the best red meat on the planet in my opinion. I have a venison snack stick thread in my list of threads. Wish I had more of that too!

Good trade and looks great.

Thanks. Good trade, yes! Makes me want to trade a kidney or something else for more!

Aint that the truth Kit! I really miss the days when venison and elk was at least a weekly meal. I sure do cherish it when I have it. ..but since '94.. wow! I would die! Thanks for the like.

Thanks a lot Richie! You can take two, they are small. And I'll bet you cant eat just one.
Thanks for the point.

You are right. I go fishing with this buddy a lot, but never hunted together. I just might be joining his elk hunt party next year. Thanks for the like!
