Grilled Elk Ribeye Steaks

Ingredients:

1. 2pc Elk Ribeye Steaks 7-8oz.

2. Olive oil

3. Salt and pepper

4. Optional: Garlic, rosemary, or other herbs for additional flavor

From Freezer: Take elk steaks from freezer and place in refrigerator and allow to thaw overnight.

Instructions:

Bring the meat to room temperature: Take the elk ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator about 30-60 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.

1. Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

2. Season the steaks: Brush the elk ribeye steaks with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. You can also add minced garlic, rosemary, or your favorite herbs for extra flavor.

3. Grill the steaks: Place the steaks on the preheated grill. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your desired level of doneness.

4. Rest the meat: Allow the cooked steaks to rest for a 5 minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy and flavorful result.

5. Serve: Slice the elk ribeye steaks against the grain and serve them with your favorite side dishes.

Remember to monitor the internal temperature of the elk meat using a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches a safe level (120-125 degrees) while still maintaining the desired level of doneness. Elk is leaner than beef, so be cautious not to overcook it to prevent it from becoming dry. Enjoy your elk ribeye steaks!
