Recipe ingredients
- Butter* and oil* as needed
- 1¾ lb. (800 g) cubed elk
- 1 red onion, sliced thin
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 apples, peeled and sliced thin
- 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) honey*
- 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) cider vinegar or Irresistibles white vinegar*
- 1 cup (250 mL) cider or apple juice*
- If using apple juice, measure ¾ cup (180 mL)
- and add ¼ cup (60 mL) white wine
- 2¼ cups (560 mL) thickened brown stock or commercial brown gravy
- 3 Tbsp. (45 mL) grainy mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large casserole, sear cubed meat all sides in butter and oil on medium-high. Remove and reserve.
In the same casserole, lightly brown onion, garlic and apples in a bit of butter.
Add honey and vinegar and simmer for a few minutes.
Deglaze with cider and add brown stock.
Thicken sauce with grainy mustard. Season with salt and pepper.
Simmer for a few minutes and add browned meat.
Cover and braise in the oven for 1 hour.
Suggestion
Elk meat is rich in protein, iron and B complex vitamins. Because game meat is very lean, it should be cooked rare or medium-rare to preserve its tenderness and flavour. The key to great tasting game meat is to sear it over high heat to lock in flavour.Recipe created by Académie Culinaire
