This past fall my father was lucky enough to draw a Wyoming Elk tag. I didn't hesitate putting in for my 2 weeks vacation to go along and help him out. Needless to day the hunt was a tough 3 hours. Most of that time was spent getting the animal out of the timber and to the truck. A mature Bull elk has a lot of meat, so both of our freezers are (were) full. My favorite way to cook these thin steaks is simply, age the meat for a few days in the refrigerator add a light coat of olive oil and lightly salt with sea salt and throw it on a HOT grill for about 2 min per side.

Becker content added. Yes I did use the 24 as a steak knife and she cut like the steak was warm butter.





Like I said it was hard work. We almost cut him up and carried it out, but it was only 1/8 of a mile to the logging road and slightly down hill.



Here is the happy hunter and his "Guide"
 
Awesome. What knife did the field dressing?

I think it was one of Dad's old customs. The Skinner with the antler handle, the old barber made for him years ago.
At the time the only Becker I had was the 2 and it was in my pack laying back at the top of the hill where I dropped it as soon as the bull started Bugling.
 
mmmmmmmm...........
Elk makes some of the best tasting and most tender steak I've ever had.
 
Never had elk before, but would love to try it. By the way, that looks damn good.
 
Drool...I absolutely love elk. Well worth the 3 hours of work to fill you freezer with that.
 
Looks tasty.
Never tried Elk. Had plenty of dear, and some moose, but I've still yet to try elk.
Thanks for sharing.
 
hmmm...
I think I have some elk in the freezer -- that may make it onto the menu at the midwest gathering...
 
There is a mid-west gathering????? Where and when is it??????
 
I can practically taste that steak through the computer. Nice rack too.:D
