Celebrating hunting season with beautiful northern BC elk
My awesome brand new brother in law Morgan got an elk a month ago and sent some of the meat down to PG. How nice. What a fine chap.
So this week on Suppertime we celebrate elk by cooking it in a rich coffee gravy and listening to tunes which celebrate Morgan & Dani, the elk and their herd life, hunting, hermits, velvet, and outdoor pretty songs.
For the elk:
4-5 chunks of elk minute steak ( thin cutlets of elk, or whatever cut you have cut about an inch thick)
1 onion sliced into rings
1 bouillon cube of whatever flavour or water (about 1.5 cups)
2 tsp flour
1 tbs instant coffee
2 tbs greek yogurt or sour cream (optional)
- In a medium-high frying pan with oil, fry up your elk on both sides for about 2-3 minutes each. Until a nice crisp brown carmelization process takes place.
- Add about a 1.5 cups of water, or stock, or water and bouillon cube, or just water. Whatever your have my dear.
- Add flour and stir into water
- Add onions
- Place a lid on the pan slightly ajar so steam can escape
- Reduce heat to a low or low-medium and let simmer for about 40 minutes
- Add 2 tbsps of instant coffee and stir
- let simmer about 5 more minutes
- tada! Done
- Add some greek yogurt or sour cream for a little tang and creaminess if you wish
