Step 1

Fire up. Prepare a grill for high temperature direct heat cooking.

Step 2

Prep. Season each elk steak with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Cook. Place a cast iron skillet on the grill grate directly over the hot coals. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the hot skillet and allow to melt.

Step 4

Place one of the elk steaks in the skillet and sear for 2 minutes. Add 2-3 cloves of garlic and 1 sprig of rosemary to the skillet along with 1 additional tablespoon of butter.

Step 5

Flip the steak and cook for 2 minutes, basting the top with the butter mixture as it cooks.

Step 6

Remove the elk steak from the skillet for medium rare or continue to cook until desired doneness is reached. Medium rare is where I like, about 130°F (54.4°C) internal temperature.

Step 7

Wipe the skillet out with a paper towel and repeat the process for the remaining steak.

Step 8

Serve. Slice and enjoy.This recipe was adapted and shared with permission from howtobbqright.com. Photos courtesy of Malcom Reed.
