Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Elk Tenderloin For Dinner

I shot a cow elk a week ago Friday and let the tenderloins age in the refrigerator until yesterday morning when I marinated them for 2 hours and then cooked them on the smoker grill. There isn’t a better piece of red meat you could buy…

Very nice. What's your marinade?

looks good.
We're having deer tenderloin this evening, but doing them on Kabobs for something different.

I'd get up on that.

Looks tasty!

🤤

Last night we had antelope tenderloins. They're equally tasty but dang they're little. About 2 good bites is all you get from each one.

I'm interested in the marinade you chose.

I've had some prepared in a similar fashion and it was superb. The fellow who did the cooking was a professional chef and I believe he used red wine and herbs for a marinade.

Man that looks good

That looks absolutely delicious

Righteous !!!

Showoff!

Outstanding!

I am shooting prairie dogs and drove up on a high spot to answer. It is sadly, very unscientific. I just poured what I would estimate about 2-3 ounces of teriyaki, just a couple shakes of Worcestershire sauce, a little more Soy sauce and a couple splashes of rice wine vinegar, finished with about 3 good shakes of Tabasco. 2 hours is plenty of time to get some penetration of the marinade and not too long to overwhelm the meat.

I do understand the sacrilege of doctoring good meat with too much seasoning and spice, but this will amaze even the most skeptical of how good this really is…

Yeah, so that looks awesome! Nice!!!

Good stuff Shrap… put in a good store of elk as well. Very hard to beat a nice dry cow or fat spike bull.

Meat so delicious you gotta drown it in a marinade to make it edible.....yum.

It doesn't look drowned to me.

I bet he use La Choy........or Dales......or ...shudder....Allegro!

Dang that looks good.

Spoken by a certified beef producer…

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Now you’re just rubbing it in…….

He probably waits until after his beef steak is cooked, then drowns it in 57 sauce, like a real farmer does it.

Soon as I saw the title of the post I jumped on it. Shrap has posted pics of elk tenderloin before, although I think his presentation was better the last time.

There's only 1 bad thing about a tenderloin - an animal only has 2 of them. Can't someone breed an animal with more of it?

Had the same last night myself.

You obviously never shot an elk you moron! GFY JC!

Jim is just jealous.

Oh golly....another meat expert.

You probably wrap all game meat in bacon.

To each his own, but personally no marinade will touch my elk tenderloins.

I like them just fine without it.

Looks like that would be great after it's cooked.

You can eat the overcooked end pieces. The center ones are perfect!

That's close to being overcooked.

I didn’t realize an elk tenderloin was that big as I never killed one.
Looks delicious, Makes me want to book an elk hunt.

Better than Viking grub with Paul.

Don't come to my place !
