Elk Ground (1 lb)

100% Free Range Elk

Physical Description: Approximately 1 lb of free range ground elk meat.

Cooking: Elk is available in a wide range of cuts and preparations. It can easily be substituted for bison or beef in any recipe. Just like with bison, simply lower the cooking time - it cooks more quickly because it's naturally leaner. We recommend cooking it to no more than medium rare for optimal flavor and tenderness. It has a pronounced, clean and slightly sweet flavor that people adore. Because of its succulent, tender texture, it doesn't require marinating. It's also far less gamey than venison.

Nutrition Information: Elk has only a fifth the fat of regular beef and is richer in healthy omega 3's and CLA. High in protein and packed with vitamins and minerals like B-12, thiamine, iron, phosphorus, zinc, riboflavin and niacin. All of these nutrients help to reduce the risk of heart disease, boost the immune system and improve general health and longevity. Purchasing elk from our online meat delivery service helps to support a sustainable food system.

Farming Practices: These elk live essentially wild, roaming free range on 100,000 acre ranches. These ranches are owned by generational family farmers who take pride in producing the finest elk meat in the world. Because of their natural diet, this elk has a delicate yet distinctive flavor. A refined richness and subtle sweetness allow chefs creative freedom within a wide range of culinary styles. Available year-round. Stringent quality assurance standards ensure absolute consistency and quality. No added hormones or steroids - EVER. Frozen within 24 hours of processing.
