Elk Tenderloin with Prosciutto and Mushrooms

Sliced and served to perfection.

Any day of the week is a good day to serve up a stuffed Elk Tenderloin with Prosciutto and Mushrooms.

And take it from me, it’s easier than you might think to prepare.

Simply butterfly open the elk tenderloin and generously season with salt and pepper. Layer with slices of prosciutto, a medley of cooked mushrooms, shallots, garlic and parsley and top with soft spreadable cheese. Roll up and tie to secure. Brown in a cast iron skillet and finish in the oven until a perfect medium rare.

I’m always asked from ‘non-hunters’ where they can find responsibly raised elk meat and here’s my answer – The Jackson Hole Buffalo Meat Co., based in beautiful Jackson Hole, WY. Lean, healthy and mouthwatering elk delivered to your front door.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter, shallots, minced garlic and mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms for 4-5minutes. Add the parsley and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let cool.

Set the elk tenderloin on a cutting board and carefully butterfly open using a sharp knife. Pound the tenderloin with a meat mallet ensuring that the overall thickness is roughly 1/2 inch thick. Generously season the meat with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Working in layers, add the prosciutto, cooked mushroom mixture and cheese.

Starting on the longest side, begin to roll up the tenderloin creating a pinwheel shape. Use butcher’s twine to tie and secure the meat from opening during cooking. Brush the exterior of the meat with olive oil.

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter. Add the elk tenderloin to the skillet and brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.

Remove the skillet from heat and set in the oven to finish cooking for 20 minutes.

Remove the elk tenderloin from the skillet and set on a cutting board. Let the meat rest for 10 minutes.

Slice and serve with roasted vegetables and salad.
