"good elk steak" receipy[ anybody have one to share?]

[KILLERBEE]

so i have had some pretty dang good elk stakes in the past but i'm a horrible cook myself, does anybody have a good elk steak receipy for me to try out?

[animules]

Our favorite for steaks is to pan fry to medium rare.  Very hot pan with a good covering of extra virgin olive oil with some fresh grated ginger and garlic, maybe a bit of fine chopped onion too.  I haven't found a way I like elk or venison steaks better.     Well, maybe topped with fresh crab meat and hollendaise sauce.

so do you bread the steak in flour or just put the meat in the oil with the garlic and onions at the same time?

[animules]

I just heat the oil and add the rest, no breading.  Just did venison steaks tonight.

I like them almost like that, but we bread them in flour and salt and pepper.  Then fry in olive oil.  Snarf snarf!!!

Try this steak "au poivre" receipe as it works great with elk.

2 steaks, rib eye, sirloin, elk, whatever
medium cracked black pepper
oil, canola or olive work fine.  ( If you have any fat on the steak, you can use it to make the oil for the skillet by rendering it )
1/4 cup brandy
1 cup brown stock or beef broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup butter

Press cracked pepper into both sides of the steaks.  With a little oil in a heavy skillet, heat until very hot, then sear the steaks about 1 1/2 minute on each side.  Reduce the heat to moderate and cook the steaks for 1 to 2 minutes more on each side for rare meat, and transfer them to a heated platter.  Pour any fat from the skillet and then add brandy to the skillet and ignite it.  Shake the pan until the flames go out.  Add the brown stock or beef broth and heavy cream.  Reduce the liquid by half over high heat, stirring to keep it from burning.  Add salt to taste and more pepper if desired.  Swirl in the sliced butter which will further thicken the sauce and then pour the sauce over the steaks and enjoyl.  When you are reducing the "gravy", keep at it until it coats the back of a spoon and is fairly thick in consistency for best taste.  As you are doing this, you will eventually get quite large "bubbles" as the sauce is almost done and this is when you add the butter.

Another good fixin is to just put your elk steak into a zip lock with minced garlic, low- salt soy sauce, and olive oil.  After you let this sit for however long you have, and the longer the better, take it out and put it on the charcoal grill or over the fire.  If you have a Sam's Club, Yoshida's sauce is as good by itself as a marinade that is very similar and quite easy.  This works for backstrap or tenderloin as well and if you add Canadian steak seasonings, you will be eating quite well.

I like the taste of rosemary - try a little pinch of rosemary and tell me what you think. I also like a dab of good stout horseraddish on the side to dip the tip of my steak in! All this talk - time to ready up some fine Montana Elk Sirloin!

Remember - the brandy is used for cooking the steaks; you don't want to get stewed on the stuff!
