Roasted Elk Top Sirloin

Here’s just another quick wild game roast recipe that just might set off your smoke detector.

This recipe is similar to how we used to prepare our prime rib for Christmas dinner. It was always a show stopper so I figured why not do the same thing with a beautiful elk roast. The butter blend is packed full of flavors that include parsley, oregano, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. If you don’t have dried minced garlic simply substitute with a minced clove of garlic. Keep an eye on the roast while it’s baking and be sure to remove it from the oven when the internal temperature hits 140 degrees.

Let the roast rest for ten minutes to ensure that you have a perfect medium rare when you slice and serve.
