Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 6-8 elk steaks, about 1/2 inch thick
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- kosher salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 1 shallot, finely diced
- 3/4 cup Sweet Marsala wine
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Using a meat mallet, pound both sides of the steaks and season with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each steak in flour until evenly coated on both sides. Shake off any excess.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Place the floured steaks into the skillet and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove when done and set aside.
