What are you cooking with your game meat?

[Becca]

I plan to grill a couple of antelope steaks this evening. My wife and kids are out of town so I invited my dad and a friend to join me. If it weren't for straight up grilling of meat I wouldn't know where to begin.

Yeah, but you can't go wrong with grilled steaks, and I hear elk is great! Do you marinate or season it at all before grilling? Let us know how it turns out WV!

 

[Becca]

Show off! Did I tell you yet that I envy you guys

Sorry Les! And we even got so busy eating the beer battered fish that I forgot to take photos
Let us know when you want to make a trip north, we would love to have ya!

Thanks Becca! Did you guys get any pics of your camp set-up? I know it gets to be a hassle.....but us "Southerners" really love the pictures. I am going to hold you guys to that trip!

A baked sweet potato is awesome with a bbq elk steak! Another great option is an elk roast in a crock pot with garlic embedded in the roast. Yummy!

Becca, this will be the 4th time I have had grilled antelope steaks. The first was at camp the day after we took a couple. My buddy drthornton (on here) grilled them on a one use charcoal grill. I think he used some salt, pepper and grill mates type seasoning. They were delicious. The last two times I grilled them at home I used a little bit of salt and pepper and they tasted real good. I'm kind of a lazy cook so it will be just salt and pepper again.

I do have a couple of peices of elk in the freezer but I haven't had the opportunity to cook it yet. Any ideas? They are top and bottom roasts, I would have to cut them in thirds to cook in the crock pot.

Sorry, I just realized I misread your first post...thinking elk instead of antelope. While I do know the difference, we don't see a lot of either critter up here so I guess I just got mixed up
Can't wait to hear how your antelope steaks come out!

As far as your elk roasts go, crock pot would probably do an amazing job, or you might be able to get them whole into a Dutch oven if you have or can borrow one. I have done moose, deer and caribou steaks over onions in the Dutch oven with a little beer or wine and apple juice and they turned out awesome! Slow cooking in either a crock pot or dutch oven seems to be a great way to go with game roasts, as it keeps them tender despite their low fat content. If you want an even easier route, toss the roast in the crock pot with a packet or two of liptons onion soup mix and a little beef broth...yum!

Dall Sheep Steaks

Tonight I grilled Dall Sheep Steak...

Sliced against the grain, tossed with Worcestershire sauce, freshly ground black pepper and seasoning salt then grilled to medium doneness

Served with sautéed veggies and some coleslaw, awesome!

You all getting tired of my food pictures, or should I keep going?

 

[Jbirdhunter]

All I get to eat is tag soup

 

[les welch]

Becca....you're killing us here

We tagged 3 turkeys this week, so we will be having fresh turkey for awhile!

Seriously?? You busted out the sheep steaks when I am out of town J/K, guess that means I get to eat all of yours if you get one this year

Just doing my part to whittle down what's left in the freezer from last year

You can eat as much of my possible sheep as you can cook yourself, ha ha

That's funny as hell. Luke what is the lady supposed to do starve

Southeast alaska shrimp & patrmigan with cajun spice & tomato base sauce

grouse poppers...love them!

 

[Becca]

Wow akrdkill, that looks awesome!! How do you do the grouse poppers? I think I see jalapeño in there, but what else? We enjoyed a gallon or two of Prince William Sound shrimp over the winter, but it has sadly run out now....

Ryan, I am thinking Luke would have preferred I eat a less "choice" meat while he is out of town at work But truth be told, I am a little sick of moose, deer, and caribou these days, so the sheep steaks added a little variety. I have assured Luke we can have a repeat of this meal when he gets back...

I should have taken pictures of the Elk Steak Fajita's from last night. I suppose I will have to make them again this coming week just because of that.

 

[akrdkill]

Becca i use canned sliced jalapeno's, lit bit of rondele cheese or similar & a small chunk of grouse or ptarmigan. i try to get some low sodium center cut bacon also...wrap them up & good to go....they don't last long. cant wait to get some fresh shrimp. got a good deal on some from S.E. for 7.00/lb so i bought a bunch. they're great.

 

[Becca]

Akrdkill, I may have to try that sometime, they look awesome!

I will look forward to your post! It's really fun seeing what other people are cooking up, and helps me think of new ideas!

This evening we had Italian Blacktail Subs with onions and peppers.

Luke with one of his Kodiak, AK blacktail

I marinated the venison back straps in Italian dressing and cooked them on low in the crockpot for 8 hours with diced onions. I added chopped bell peppers in the last hour.

Served on toasted hoagie rolls with fries and salad. Yum!

 

[BuckSnort]

Looks great Becca.. I do something similar.. I also marinate the venison in Italian dressing and lots of garlic, then cook and serve on a roll with grilled onions and peppers...

 

[Ryan Avery]

Becca, looks dang good except for the salad
