Have you tried elk?
It’s one of the rarest and most desirable of the free-range meats.
But only a select few Americans know about this delicacy.
What makes this cut so desirable? Of course, it’s the tenderness. The melt-in-your-mouth texture.
It might be surprising that such a vigorous, strong animal, like the elk can be incredibly tender.
Of course, it has to do with how these elk are raised and their final days. These elk are freer than other livestock but also far more pampered. So, their meat is surprisingly delicate.
But it also has to do with the cut.
The tenderloins sit on the inside of the ribcage and do very little work, so the muscle stays pliable.
That texture makes tenderloins in high demand. But they’re also rare. Tenderloin makes up just 2-3% of the elk.
Elk Tenderloins are a customer favorite, for sure. You can tell by the reviews shown below.

- Rated 5 out of 5 stars15 hours agoExcellent, delicious and so tender.
At Thanksgiving, my 93 year old Mother, asked me if I had ever eaten Elk meat. I said that I had on several of my trips out west. She was curious as to what it taste like and several other things about it. I decided right then what I was going to fix for Christmas lunch at her place. I grilled three Tenderloins and made a blueberry reduction sauce to go with it. It was a hit, she loved it, even without the sauce and it was so tender we could cut it with the plastic forks we used to keep washing time down. My siblings who are picky eaters couldn't get enough of it. Definately a rating of AAA+ IN MY BOOK.

We thawed three tenderloins and dry wiped them, leaving them unwrapped for 24 hours in the refrigerator.
We made a rub of ground dried Italian porcini mushrooms, fresh rosemary and black peppercorns ground together and Kosher salt. A light coat of EVOO was applied then the rub followed. Just prior to searing we lightly applied some additional rub.
Oven temp was set at 450deg.F and a cast iron pan heated therein. When ready to sear we placed the hot cast iron frying pan on the stove top and seared the meat for about 2-3 minutes then into the oven for about 4-5 minutes reaching 120-125 degF. Allowed to rest for 10 minutes, then sliced and served with a Bordelaise Sauce enhanced with juniper berries, black peppercorns, fresh rosemary and fresh chanterelles.
The Elk was served with roasted parsnips, gnocchi Parisian, sweet & sour red cabbage with fried pancetta garnish and accompanied by a 2019 William Selyem Pinot Noir.
A meal fit for a king!!

The meat was tender and almost melted in my mouth.
Cook very good on the BBQ. I finished the whole tenderloin in one sitting. 👍

The Elk Tenderloins were fantastic. Perfectly packed
allowing for exquisite flavor! Try the dry rub recipe listed on the website! The only aspect exceeding the product was the customer service. Being the holiday season, an on time arrival was questionable by the carrier. Chris personally called to insure replacement should the product arrive warm! Thankfully the steaks arrived in a timely manner and were frozen solid.
If I’m not hunting Elk, I’ll be placing several orders with Jackson Hole Buffalo Meat Co.!
Thanks Chris!
