Ground Elk fat %

[bowhunter307]

0% fat. 100% elk. If browning in a pan we'll use a spoonful of lard we rendered from hogs we butcher.

Pure elk. You just need to add some olive oil. Here are Greek style meatballs I made with elk.
Garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, Parmesan cheese. Mix it all up. Fry in olive oil.

I add a handfull of pork fat from the pigs we butcher into the grinder ever so often, no clue how much, no method to the maddness at all.

I like the flavor it adds and helps cook it IMO.

I personally like do a 50/50 blend of elk with pork shoulder for hamburger.

I’ve done it with beef suet, pork fat, bacon never as high as 20% more 10-15 average but normally 100% elk when I do all the processing.
Bacon cheeseburger is my preferred method. Making sausage more fat is needed good breakfast & Italian are my favorites.

100% elk for regular ground, 15% bacon for bacon burger.

I generally run 10% beef fat, 10% or so pork. Taste like chicken.

Always 20% grass fed beef suet way better burgers and if you can find grass fed it’s a good healthy addition to the already healthy elk
