PEPPERED ELK SKILLET

Peppered Elk Skillet image

This recipe originally called for beef, but I started using elk, and no one knows the difference, not even my kids, and they are very picky eaters! I serve this over hot cooked rice or wide egg noodles.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound elk steak, cut into thin strips
1 clove minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 green bell peppers, cut into strips
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) package sliced mushrooms
1 (15 ounce) can baby corn, drained
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
¼ cup water

Steps:

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the elk strips and garlic; cook and stir until the elk has browned, about 4 minutes. Once done, season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove elk from skillet.
Pour the remaining tablespoon of oil into the skillet, and stir in bell pepper and onion. Cook and stir until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes, then add the beef broth, soy sauce, tomatoes, mushrooms, and corn. Bring to a boil. Dissolve cornstarch in water, and stir into boiling vegetables; stir until thickened, about 30 seconds. Stir in the browned elk until heated through, then serve.
