Simple Gourmet: Elk Steak with Black Pepper Sauce (Taiwan-style)

Simple Gourmet: Elk Steak with Black Pepper Sauce (Taiwan-style)

This sauce is flavorful and spicy and a little sweet. Use it on any red meat to finish the flavor. I used it here on backstops from last year’s cow elk. It would also be excellent on a roast.

If you’ve eaten Butter Chicken at an Indian restaurant, then this dish will be familiar. Butter Bear is rich and creamy, and simmering any meat in this sauce for a while will make it tender and delicious.

Simple Gourmet: Game Sausage, Duck Egg, & Apple Breakfast Sandwich

There’s no denying: An excellent breakfast sandwich will take you a long way up a mountain before you stop for lunch or stop to process the critter you just killed. McDonald’s has a good handle on the system, but you can easily do better with quality meat, egg, and cheese.

Simple Gourmet: Hunting & Eating Desert Raccoons

Simple Gourmet: Hunting & Eating Desert Raccoons

I took this raccoon roast to Sunday Dinner at a friend’s house. 16 people ate it and they all agreed that it tasted like a beef roast — what do you expect when it eats the same things as cows each day?
