So my wife was away last evening and I thawed a package of elk steaks my buddy had brought from BC. No sense sharing elk if I don't have to! I have never butchered an elk, so did not recognize the cut. For sure the small steaks were cut from a larger piece, and my guess is bottom round. Anyways, elk really should be eaten no more cooked than medium rare, and it goes from rare to medium in a heartbeat. Difficult to achieve on the BBQ, even with indirect heat, so I pan-fried them, and even took PICTURES!!! That orange stuff on the plate is a vegetable.
