Italian Venison Sausage Soup

Still sticking with lighter dishes to lose a few pounds, so carbs are at a minimum. I love cooking with game meat. Venison especially is really lean and delicious. It wasn’t gamey and went perfectly in this soup. Plus, it comes together so quick that it makes a great weeknight dinner. It’s packed with flavorContinue reading “Italian Venison Sausage Soup”

Crispy Grilled Elk Tacos

These delicious little tacos really hit the spot! I normally double up my tortillas, but they held up brilliantly when frying and didn’t need any extra structural support. The marinade is key to perfectly tender elk meat, as this was an old bull and his meat was a bit on the tough side. Elk: 2Continue reading “Crispy Grilled Elk Tacos”

Chicken Fried Elk Steak

I love elk meat. It’s lean, tender and slightly sweeter than beef. It can be an expensive meat to buy from the butcher, but it’s well worth it! Marinading it in buttermilk really helps to get rid of any gaminess the meat may have. 4 large Elk Steaks or Chops Salt and Pepper to tasteContinue reading “Chicken Fried Elk Steak”

Raspberry Glazed Smoked Elk Steaks

Unfortunately the elk was an old bull, so the meat was tough. I had to marinate it for 7 hours in a high acid mixture to break up the tough muscle fibers. It was so worth it and made for an excellent binder for the seasoning rub! I definitely should have thickened the sauce aContinue reading “Raspberry Glazed Smoked Elk Steaks”
