ELK STEAKS WITH MOREL MUSHROOMS
2 lbs. Elk steaks
flour
salt & Pepper to taste
olive oil
2 lbs. Morel mushrooms
3 cloves garlic chopped
3 green onions chopped
4 Tbs. Butter
Cook the morels down to get the moisture out of them, when done, drain
and put aside. Flour the elk steaks and fry them in the olive oil.
While the steaks are frying, sauté the morels in the butter with the
onions and garlic. When the steaks are done take them out of the
skillet and put them in the oven to keep them warm. From the drippings
make a gravy. Place the steaks on a serving platter and cover with the
morel mushrooms. Then pour the gravy over the steaks and morels. Now
they are ready to be enjoyed. If morel mushrooms are not available,
store bought mushrooms will do.
