ctafoya Report post Posted November 19, 2017 Anybody ever try it with Elk? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tac Report post Posted November 20, 2017 I have only had it once with beef at a restaurant. It is a very difficult preparation to cook correctly but I think elk would definitely be a perfect meat to do it with!

ctafoya Report post Posted November 20, 2017 I'm going to do one elk and one pork for Christmas when I'll have a full house. I'm going to do a practice run for thanksgiving since nobody likes turkey. If it turns out good I'll post up a recipe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmoto Report post Posted November 20, 2017 I'm going to do one elk and one pork for Christmas when I'll have a full house. I'm going to do a practice run for thanksgiving since nobody likes turkey. If it turns out good I'll post up a recipe. Please do. I was thinking about doing one with some elk backstrap soon. After rubbing on the mushroom/garlic/onion paste onto the backstrap, then wrap the whole thing with prosciutto. That will help keep moisture in the meat and not soaking into the puff pastry. After wrapping everything in the puff pastry, put in the fridge to cool down the meat prior to putting in the oven. Timing is crucial to not over cook the meat, while ensuring the pastry browns properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brademan76 Report post Posted November 20, 2017 I've done it with venison on multiple occasions. Its not difficult and you can put your own twist on ingredients and seasonings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctafoya Report post Posted November 24, 2017 It came out ok. No complaints from anyone. No leftovers. A little soggy at the bottom. I think I will use beef next time tho. Save the elk for the grill. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muledeerarea33? Report post Posted November 25, 2017 Looks fancy as F! And its never bad! You say it cane out ok but I bet it was better! Every time I cook something I think should be amazing it comes out ok but others say they love it. Why use beef next time when the meat you used was bought and paid for? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
