Got me an elk...now what to make

[Northern_Smoke]

Well my freezer has a lot of elk in it this year. I just finished making 15 pounds of jerky nuggets which turned out great. I was thinking about doing some of this meat into pastrami and sticks but was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions since there is a fair amount of meat to use up :)

Summer Sausage in the Fall is always good with some Tillamook cheese ;D

That is one thing I have never made. I might have to go looking for a recipe and see what I can make.

I use the good cuts as tenderloin,backstrap, sirloin etc. as same as I would do beef. It is very flavorfull and is the 3rd healthiest meat out there. Piker

Elk makes up some mighty good tamales also.

Sub in some Ground Elk for the beef and make you some HotDogs!

Hot Dogs
1 lb porkbutt
1 lb GB (I used 80/20)
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp ground mustard
1/4 tsp ground mace
1/4 tsp ground marjoram
1/2 tsp granulated onion
1/4 tsp granulated garlic
1 1/2 tsp sugar (Organic sugar)
1 Tbl salt (Fine sea salt)
1 tsp ground white pepper
1 egg white (Home grown)
1/4 milk (Skim)

Grind the meat 3 times through 3/16" plate put in the freezer 30 min between each grind then add the seasonings mix well then in the freezer again for 30 min and grind again. Or Emulsify in Food Processor

I poached these so I added 1 Tbl liquid smoke.

Well the hot dogs were awesome and the pastrami was out if this world. Really looking forward to the tamales and summer sausage. The grain of the meat is so much finer than that of beef. The pastrami literally melted and fell apart in my mouth.

Thank you everyone for the ideas :)
