Oh man check this burger recipe I tried out tonight.
1) Make 2 patties equal size and however thick you want, not to thick bc you will be combining them later. I added in Johnny's seasoning and Mcormicks BBQ seasoning to the elk burger and mixed it in well.
2) Chop up several pepperoni slices very fine, I used about 10 slices for2 burgers.
3) Whip up 4 table spoons of cream cheese until it's smooth, then put in pepperoni and mix well.
4) Add 1 healthy teaspoon of teriyaki marinade to cream cheese and mix
5) Add a healthy pinch of shredded cheese and mix.

Last just add some of your cream cheese mixture to one of the patties and then cover it with another patty. Then pinch the ends together to keep the stuffing in, and BBQ to your liking. I also topped the burger with sautéed onions and pepperjack cheese. I have to say it was pretty damn good for just messing around. I hope nobody from the Big Man challenge reads this, I will have been caught.

I have a great recipe, first I start off with shooting an arrow right over his back at 30 yards, then I let him cure for a year and hopefully after him curing for a year I can put an arrow in him then get back on this forum and start trying some of ur guys recipes.

I do like a backstrap that has been lightly smoked and then skewered and put on the rotisarie (yeah that circle moving thingee!) wrapped with bacon. Make sure it is still pink in the middle.

I also like elk stew. I use cubed round steak dredged in flower with pepper & garlic powder. Brown in skillet with oil. Pour everything (oil & all) in a pressure cooker. Add diced peeled potatoes, carrots, large onion, mushrooms,celery (other veggies can be added to suit you taste) and a 2 pkgs of brown gravy mix. fill 1/2 full with water and cook for 12 to 15 mins. Allow to cool naturally. Serve with fresh biscuts or cornbread.

butterflied elk tenderloin; lightly marinated in worchestershire & Tony Cachere's original seasoning; stuffed with hot pork pan sausage, jalapeno & colby jack cheese; wrapped in bacon; smothered in zesty italian. Grill on high heat a cpl minutes per side to seal it and bump it over to medium/low to let the sausage stuffing cook.

They are pretty good. All I have left now are a cpl pkgs of round steaks and stew meat cutlets. Round steaks will get pounded flat, dbl battered and tossed in grease to make a lovely chicken fried steak that I smother in country gravy.

My favorite is still a nice thick trimmed (no silver skin or fat) steak dipped in flour with salt, pepper and lemon pepper. Use a good pan with plenty of bacon grease and crisp it on both sides leaving the inside juicy and rare/med. rare.
I love elk and deer all kind of ways (and some of you guys methods are gonna get tried:)), but I still could eat steak the way Mom made it every day!

MM..... here's a way to do burgers and keep them from drying out if there's no beef fat added.

Worchestershire, Lawry's salt, Lemon Pepper & Stub's BBQ sauce.
