ROAST ELK RECIPES

Roast elk recipes can be similar to beef recipes the only difference is time and temperature of cooking.  Elk and bison are very similar in temperature and time of cooking because they both are very lean cuts of meat, so you can interchange these recipes with bison as well.  They both need time to rest after cooking. During this time they continue to cook even off the cooking source and is when they drink up their juices.

Here are some great Venison and Elk easy crock pot recipes
