Huntin- tell me more about how you prepare the elk round? Is it raw and simply "brined" in the sesame/teriyaki mix?
That looks out standing! I love good carpaccio. The salmon and cuke sound perfect with it.
Yessir, it is raw. I slice it thin first and then I just kinda add the sesame oil to taste. Just a splash of teriyaki, little salt and pepper. Mix it all together well and let it set awhile. Then enjoy. We had made the elk as an appetizer first and it was excellent...and we thought it would be perfect on a sushi roll. We were right.
Another way I like to do raw elk (not on sushi) is to slice the meat thin and then add some olive oil, fresh garlic, sea salt, cracked pepper and lemon or lime juice. Let it sit an hour or several. With the lime juice the meat turns grey-ish and the consistency changes a bit (kinda like when you make ceviche).
Both of these recipes are great as well if you sear the meat quickly on each side but personally I prefer it raw.
