No offense taken. As I’m recalling, I believe it was cooked to well. It came from a college buddy whose brother used to send it to him. I’ve always been a little leery of wild game that is not cooked through. The flavor of the meat was great. If I ever get the chance, I’ll try the onions.

I can imagine the elk is really good in spaghetti sauce. We use quite a bit of venison in that and tacos. My wife when we first got married wouldn’t touch anything wild (except me). She had a PTO meeting one evening and supper was up to me. I told her to expect spaghetti and a salad when she got home. When I started cooking, I realized we didn’t have any ground beef, so I substituted the ground venison, seasoned it real well after washing out the blood and made a really nice sauce. I didn’t say anything and when she got home, starving, she had two helpings, even complimenting me on the sauce! While we were cleaning up, I confessed about using the venison. “I thought it tasted different!” she shrieked! What ensued was another sexless night in the c2 household. She’s since come around and enjoys the healthy aspects of wild game in the diet.

sounds like that your passionate whispers were too early at the sink, just a matter of timing.

Love most wild game. Never had elk in a burger fashion, but as a steak I really enjoyed it. One of my favorite is rabbit. This is from a restaurant and not me, but the combination of peas and rabbit with pasta is unreal.

Sunday at 5. And for those who insist I play an integral part of this(ahem @Gatorbait25 ), let me say, I cut the tomatoes.

Never underestimate the importance of the sous chef. As for the rabbit, I’ve eaten some in my time, but it was chicken fried. Didn’t look anywhere near as good as your dish. In fact yours makes me think that’s what they were referring to in the Bugs Bunny cartoon when the King kept hollering for “Hasenpfeffer!”

*I had to Google to find out that hasenpfeffer was a rabbit stew!

@cover2 @soflagator The great thing about elk, it doesn’t have any kind of a game flavor. It’s great ground or as a steak. That’s about it.

Dang. Sofl off the turnbuckle for a take down! Guys, I think we’ve really got some great culinary talent among our roster, but I know we’ve definitely got a very well fed bunch!

Grilled pork chop with sautéed string beans and cauliflower

As I’ve said, during the week it’s strictly greens, vegetables and lean protein for me. Basically a 4-5 day cleanse each week. Roasted wild salmon and a romaine/kale/carrot/brussels sprouts salad(first of two bowls).

Pork loin medallions wrapped in bacon, smoked sausage, charred banana peppers, oven roasted broccoli, and fresh cut new potato chips (sorry about the good China). My bunch could eat those fresh chips until they popped. This was a pretty quick meal and we’ve enjoyed working together cooking during the shut down. I did the grill, wife does the broccoli and fruit, daughter mandolin’s the potatoes and fries them. We’d gotten away from a family meal time while the kids were at school. It’s been good to get back into that routine. An unintended benefit of these viral times!

@cover, is that sausage coyacan (sp)?

Absolutely love it. Just wish I could spell it.
