Recipe(tried): Cooking Elk

Dear Michelle,

Here is a stand by in my house. I have cooked elk for quite a while since that is the main meat in our house. If you would like to try more, please contact me. Also in my area there is a cook book called The Elk Hunter's Cookbook. It is put out by the Rocky Mountain Elk foundation. It has several recipes for Moose, Elk, and Venison. Most are very good. This recipe come from there. We served this at a Christmas Eve dinner two years ago. No one could tell it was wild game.


Alice's Quick Elk Roast

2 lb. elk roast
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 pkg. dry onion soup mix
1 cup red wine
Fresh mushrooms and onions sliced.
Oil for browning

Sear roast in skillet. Put in Crockpot on low. add cream of mushroom soup and onion soup mix. Add 1 cup red wine. Cook in crockpot for six hours. Add mushrooms and onions. Cook one more hour.

This can be salty at times. To avoid that only add half of the onion soup mix, and add some water to dilute the salty taste. Hope you like it!
