ELK

"Elk meat is a naturally lean alternative to mainstream meats. It’s savoury taste will excite your tastebuds and keep everyone coming back for more.

Elk steak is surprisingly lean, tender and flavourful, which means that it requires minimal fuss and seasonings to prepare it. Lower in fat and cholesterol than beef and even chicken, elk sirloin should be cooked to a state of rare or medium-rare.

It has a fantastic flavour, not too strong and gamey like moose. It’s texture is similar to beef, but it has a more robust and savoury taste. It is an easy meal to prepare, just remember that is lean meat so it will cook faster. Cook at a shorter cooking time and at a lower temperature. Use your favourite red meat recipes but remember to keep from cooking it too much."
