Tonight, my wife prepared for us, baked potato, roasted asparagus, sautéed mushrooms and onions, all to accompany some elk loin steaks she had marinated in a juniper berry, red wine, garlic and pepper marinade. The marinade was reduced to a sauce and served over the elk. A delightful red blend complemented the meal.
It is the first time I have had elk that actually had flavor and satisfied me. It was the sauce. Elk by itself is rather much like lamb or veal to me, in other words, without flavor. But tonight, out of the park.
