Elk Filet With Wild Mushroom Demi Glaze Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Elk Filet

   Season the elk filets with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Sear the Elk Filet

   Sear the elk filets in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

3. 3

   Make the Demi Glaze

   In the same skillet, add the minced shallots and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Mushrooms

   Add the wild mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are tender and browned, about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Deglaze the Pan

   Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce by half.

6. 6

   Add Stock

   Add the beef stock and fresh thyme. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.

7. 7

   Finish the Sauce

   Stir in the butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

8. 8

   Serve

   Slice the elk filet and plate it. Spoon the wild mushroom demi glaze over the top and garnish with fresh parsley.
