For the Elk Marinade:
For Serving:
Directions
Marinate the Elk
In a large bowl, mix avocado oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the elk steak, ensuring all pieces are well-coated in the marinade.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Cook the Elk:
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove elk steak from the marinade and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Avoid overcooking to keep the meat tender.
Let the elk steak rest for 1 minute, then slice into 1/4" to 1/2" strips.
Assemble the Tacos:
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
Add 4-6 elk steak strips to each tortilla.
Top with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and a spoonful of Tripping Billy Salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
