- Grilled Elk Steak with Asian Marinade
Why This Recipe Works:
The bold Asian flavors in this simple marinade are a perfect complement to the rich, earthy flavor of elk and other wild game meats. Once the marinated elk steak is placed on the grill, the sugars in the marinade caramelize and form a mouthwatering crust on the outside of the meat, while also helping to retain the steak’s tenderness and juiciness on the inside. This dish is simple to prepare and incredibly delicious!
Ingredient Notes:
- Elk Ribeye Cap: This recipe uses the elk ribeye cap: the long strip of meat that separates from the backstrap. However, you can use just about any steak cut from any animal for this recipe. Round steak, sirloin steak, flank steak, etc. are all great choices.
- Garlic and Ginger: This recipe uses fresh garlic cloves and ginger root, but you can speed up the preparation by using jarred minced garlic and jarred minced ginger.
Equipment Notes:
- Pellet Grill: This recipe uses a pellet grill but you can use whatever grill or indoor grill pan you prefer.
