Old Pro

About a month back my littlest sister got her elk...a cow (she was a pro). She was super stoked up shooting the critter (as it was her very first hunting season - see picture).  In her generosity, she shared the elk with our other sister and my family.  Since I grew up on wild game I enjoy wild game over beef any day.  I made this recipe with the fruits of her labor....it was definitely a keeper; reminiscent of beef stroganoff.   Congratulations, MRT!
