Grilled Mongolian Elk On Vegetable Mountain Recipes

ELK SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Grind each meat separately then mix together. It is best if you grind the meat when it is very cold. Mix the ground meat together with all the seasonings. Form into small patties. Saute a small piece and test for taste. You may need to adjust the spices. Next, place a length (10 to 15 feet) of sausage casing on a sausage horn and force mixture into casing. Twist sausages in alternating directions to create 6 to 8-inch long sausages. If well protected, finished sausages can be frozen in a non-frost free freezer for up to a year. The sausages can be cooked directly on a grill or sauteed in a pan. For best results, boil sausages first and finish on grill or pan. Can serve with maple syrup.

GRILLED ELK STEAKS

Steps:

• Using a fork or other tenderizing tool, puncture both sides of the elk steaks.
• Place elk steaks in a pan or dish.
• Sprinkle Italian dressing over the steaks. Turn to coat the opposite side of the steaks. (I use Good Seasons Italian Dressing that I make using red wine vinegar.)
• Sprinkle McCormick's Brand Montreal steak seasoning to coat one side of the steaks. (You could sprinkle seasoning over both sides, but if you use too much seasoning, you'll overpower the taste of the meat.).
• Cover the steaks with foil and place in the fridge.
• *Marinate at least an hour, overnight if possible.
• Grill steaks over medium heat approximately 5-6 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of the steaks and the desired doneness.
• Serve with mushrooms. Enjoy!
• *Prep time does not include marinating time.
