Elk Roast

[BGKYSmoker]

I have 2 nice elk roasts. Anyone ever done a pulled elk roast?

Yes. It is also great as a mississippi pot roast. We do both venison and elk this way.

i would brine and smoke it into roast beef! you have a fine chunk of meat there! i have a big whitetail roast in my fridge brining for the weekends smoking. a cooked up brine with rosemary in it will change the way you look at that chunk of meat man! it did me.

if you dont want to brine it, i also do roasts in the intant pot with beef broth onion and seasonings. they are good too but not as good as the brined version. timing for rare is harder this way and needs learned.

Not lucky enough to have elk but Whitetail Deer I got. Have done a few different pulled variations over the years. Smoked then crockpot with some liquid then taco seasoning after pulled for a bday party once. Smoked and Mississippi Po Boy style as stated above, kind of a similar idea as the Po Boy but had beef broth and mushrooms in the braise then made gravy with the liquid. Beings it is so lean might want to consider having some kind of fat (IMO) like butter or beef tallow

I have also done many oh many of venison and elk roasts as a slow cooker pot roast style..... IE, sear it off, then in the pot with some French onion then 1/2 a day later add some roots and onion with a can of can of mushroom for the rest of the day.... These were the good old college days and early marriage years.... It goes excellent in a large bread bowl after that! Or in your case make some smaller SD bowl size loafs and then enjoy!

I'm going to go another way with this and make some SS and Stix.
(if I still know how )

Pretty lean meat for pulling straight off the critter, a brine or a wrap in bacon will help keep moist
