Elk "Outfitter" Strip Steak
Our Elk "Outfitter" Strip Steak delivers the classic steakhouse experience with the exceptional flavor of premium elk. Cut from the prized striploin, the same premium cut as a New York Strip beef steak, this steak offers outstanding tenderness, a fine texture, and a rich, naturally clean flavor.
Leaner than beef yet every bit as satisfying, elk has a mild, slightly sweet taste with subtle earthy notes that never overpower. High in protein and naturally low in fat, it's a delicious, nutritious alternative to traditional beef without sacrificing the hearty steak experience.
Hand-cut from premium elk striploins, these steaks are perfect for grilling or pan-searing and are best enjoyed cooked to medium-rare to preserve their tenderness and natural juices. Whether you're an adventurous foodie or simply looking for a healthier steak with exceptional flavor, the Elk "Outfitter" Strip Steak offers the best of both worlds, a premium steakhouse cut with the distinctive character of elk meat.
-
Preparation:
-
Bring the steaks to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
-
Lightly season with salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and a touch of olive oil to enhance the natural flavor.
-
Cooking Method:
-
Grilling: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
-
Pan-Seared: Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat with a small amount of butter or oil. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side, creating a golden crust. Lower the heat and cook for another 2-3 minutes if needed.
-
Oven Finish: After searing in a skillet, transfer the steaks to a 400°F oven and cook for 5-7 minutes for medium-rare.
-
Resting: Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is tender and flavorful.
-
Pairings:
-
Vegetables: Serve with roasted root vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, or sweet potatoes to complement the steak’s earthy tones.
-
Sauces: A wild berry reduction, red wine jus, or mushroom cream sauce adds an elegant touch.
-
Sides: Pair with creamy mashed potatoes, wild rice, or grilled asparagus for a balanced plate.
