Elk Steaks With Green Peppercorn Sauce Recipes

ELK STEAK MARINADE

Steps:

• Whisk canola oil, onion, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and pepper in a bowl until marinade is well mixed. Place elk steak in a large resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over meat. Coat meat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, turning occasionally.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Drain elk steak and discard marinade.
• Cook steaks on the preheated grill until they are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

ELK STEAKS WITH GREEN PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim any visible fat from the steaks.
• Combine the garlic and oil.
• Pour over steaks and marinate, refrigerated, overnight. Season the steaks with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Grill or broil about five-six minutes per side, depending on the heat level of the grill.
• Stop while the steak is still quite rare. Set aside on a heated platter in a low oven until the sauce is ready.
• GREEN PEPPERCORN SAUCE: In a small saucepan, melt the butter in the oil over high heat until hot but not smoking.
• Add onion, and saute, stirring, until tender, about 30 sec. Add vinegar and wine, and cook, scraping bottom of pan to dissolve residue, until reduced by about half, 2 to 3 min.
• Add stock and mustard, and cook, stirring frequently, until reduced by about half, 4 to 6 min.
• Remove from heat, stir in peppercorns and correct sea soning.
• Drizzle sauce over steaks.
• Serve at once.

STEAK WITH MUSTARD AND GREEN PEPPERCORNS

Steps:

• Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper. Melt butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add steaks and sauté until brown and cooked to desired doneness, about 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Using tongs, transfer steaks to plate; tent with foil to keep warm.
• Add shallots and peppercorns to skillet. Sauté until shallots soften, about 2 minutes. Add broth, mustard and cream, then brandy; boil until sauce thickens enough to coat spoon, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cut steaks crosswise into scant 1/2-inch-thick slices. Overlap slices on 2 plates; spoon sauce alongside and serve.
