The elk is back. Thanks all for the great ideas for doing the elk a neighbor shared with me.
Round 2.
I did a combo of the round and tip. Seasoned with salt pepper and a bit of garlic powder.
Sealed in a zip lock and into the fridge overnight.
Fired up the new Mrs 40 and decided to try a couple different ways with the Elk.
There were 2 thin strips so I wrapped them in bacon.
Into the smoker with the amps loaded with pitmasters choice.
It didn't take long for the non bacon wrapped steaks to reach 120. I pulled them and introduced them to the hot Weber for a quick sear.
Oh my gosh, this is really Good!
Amazing flavor.
Okay, the bacon wrapped was ready to come out of the smoker.
and into the Weber to crisp the bacon. Oops, I'm a bad griller, the Weber ran out of propane so I threw them on the stove. One of them fell apart, still turned out amazing.
I wanted to thank my generous neighbor so I took him a plate with each of the cooks. I think he liked it because he came over 10 minutes later with another 2# of elk round steaks.
I love this place. Thank you all for the support and education.
Best regards,
Hooked on smoke.
