Tailgate Food: Elk Sliders

Elk is a great source of lean protein and it’s readily available where I live, so it is a perfect replacement for the traditional sliders. These sliders are a great combination of savory and sweet.  

Ingredients:

Ground Elk Meat

Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls - 12 Pack

Worcestershire Sauce

Chopped Garlic

Montreal Steak Grill mate

Lemon-Pepper

Cayenne

Honey, if desired

Ground Mustard

Sliced Tomato

Sweet Onions

Cheese (provolone or pepper jack)

Bread and butter pickles

Directions:

1. Form elk meat into small patties.

2. Coat each patty with Worcestershire sauce.

3. Season patties with: chopped garlic, Montreal Steak Grill mate, lightly with Lemon-Pepper & Cayenne.

    Splash of honey, if desired

4. Place in refrigerator for a few hours, but grill at room temperature.

5. Coat each patty with olive oil to keep from sticking on grill.

6. Cook Elk on high heat, each side for one minute. Elk cooks quickly, be careful not overcook.

7. Add cheese while the patties are still on the grill, in the last few seconds.

8. Serve on Hawaiian Sweet Rolls with stone ground mustard and thin sliced tomato.

9. Garnish with sweet onion slices and bread & butter pickles.
