Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F

2. Remove the elk tenderloin from the package and dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

5. In ovenproof skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat

6. Once hot, add the tenderloin and sear on all sides until browned (about 1- 1½ minutes per side).

7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

8. Roast the tenderloin for 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Be careful NOT OVERCOOK or your elk or it will be tough and dry.
