My Moms Elk Stroganoff Recipe


My Moms Elk Stroganoff Recipe
I come from a family of hunters; my dad, mom (!), and brother all hunt. Mom created this stroganoff recipe that is versatile because you can use different game meats or even beef. Our favorite was elk.

I have never tasted elk --- but a neighbor of mine hunts elk and bear ... and he said he will give me a roast of each if he gets some this year! I'll definitely try this! Thanks, and FIVE! :+D
You should send this to 'The Old Recluse' or 'Old Recluse' he might go by... he loves wild game. Better yet, I will forward this 4 u... he'll probably love it! :+D


I don't enjoy wild game very much, despite having grown up with it; in all honesty, I really don't eat a lot of red meat (delicious, but just too rich for me). However, in my humble opinion, elk has a very similar taste to beef and is not very gamey. A good option to start for someone who has never had wild game before. Like I said, this was one of our favorite ways mom would prepare the meat, and you know how hard kids are to please! - Nat


Hi Fizzle. Chef Elaine told me about this recipe, and I simply had to come and see. This gets my five. I love elk. My thanks to you and Chef Elaine for telling me about it.
