Recipe Elk Medley Lead

Everyone loves new and fancy kitchen gadgets. When I was a kid, mom got a new electric frying pan, rivaling air fryers and Instant Pots today. I am unsure where she got the recipe, but we regularly had a dish best described as browned meat strips with tomatoes. There were not many spices, but the dish had a ton of flavor.

I don't have an electric frying pan, but I love using cast iron options for cooking our daily meals. Recalling the meat and tomato medley, I tried to recreate it as a quick dinner option. It was a trip down memory lane that we are sure to do again soon.

Who doesn’t have memories as a child of unique dishes shared at the family table? Goulash, casseroles and other concoctions that make us chuckle today are great recipes to relive with family and friends.

Elk Medley Cuisine Over Rice

Directions
1. Slice the meat into thin strips about ¼-inch wide. Mix the marinade ingredients and pour over the meat and stir to coat. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.

2. In a Camp Chef cast-iron Dutch oven, brown the meat for two to three minutes. Remove, place in a bowl and set aside.


3. Add canola oil to the Dutch oven, heat over medium-high and add the vegetable medley. Stir and cook for four minutes.


4. Mix the ingredients for the sauce and slowly add the vegetable medley. Bring the ingredients to a simmer, and add the elk to the mix. Bring the ingredients back to a rolling simmer and allow the sauce to thicken. Serve over rice.
