Elk meat has high nutritional and taste properties. It is also prized for its low fat content. The meat has a slight specific smell characteristic of game. When cooked correctly, it is practically not felt.

The same dishes are prepared from elk meat as from beef - cutlets, roast, goulash, dumplings, steaks, jellied meat, baked in a large piece or in portions. If the meat is being cooked for baking or frying, it is best to marinate it. I suggest a mustard-based elk marinade. The meat soaked with this marinade turns out to be tender and aromatic.

To marinate moose meat, prepare the foods on the list. I needed to cook a piece of elk meat weighing about two kilograms, so I cooked a double portion of the marinade.

In a bowl I combine vegetable oil, mustard, salt.

Then I add freshly ground black pepper, ground bay leaf, allspice, cloves.

I cut the garlic into thin slices.

I add it to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients.

I stir the marinade.

A wonderful marinade for elk meat is ready!

As an example, I'll show you how I use this marinade. Thoroughly wash the elk meat, remove films and veins with a sharp knife.

I put a piece of meat in a bowl of cold water for 2-3 hours. I take out the meat, dry it with a paper towel.

I put the marinade on the meat, cover it with a foil so that the top does not dry out, and put it in the refrigerator for a day. I preheat the oven to 180-190 degrees. On a baking sheet, greased with vegetable oil, I spread the meat, slightly water it with vegetable oil and bake for about 1.5-2 hours. The cooking time depends on the meat.

Such meat is perfect for a second course with a side dish, as well as a snack for sandwiches.

Enjoy your meal!

Important additions to the recipe

To eliminate the specific aftertaste and give the finished dish softness, elk meat must be soaked for 2-3 hours in cold water.

• Elk meat already contains a certain amount of naturally derived salt, so salt the dish should be done with care.
• Before baking, moose meat can be stuffed or overlaid with lard, then the meat will turn out to be more juicy.
