instructions
    1

    Start by marinating the elk steak. In a bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic (from 4 cloves), 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Coat the elk steak thoroughly with this mixture.

    2

    Cover the marinated steak and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

    3

    Preheat your grill to high heat, about 450°F (230°C). If you do not have a grill, you can also use a grill pan on the stove.

    4

    Once the grill is ready, remove the elk steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.

    5

    Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on one side, depending on the thickness of the steak and your desired doneness.

    6

    Turn the elk steak over and grill for an additional 6-8 minutes. A meat thermometer should read 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, or adjust to your preference.

    7

    Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps to keep the meat juicy.

    8

    Slice against the grain and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Grilled Elk Steak!
