Bone itself is mineral matrix; culinary values reflect marrow and attached tissue more than pure bone.
History
Indigenous North American hunters used elk as primary large-game meat; carcass of elk took a named place in that kitchen trade.
Game processors portioned elk like beef into steaks, roasts and burger. Cooks treated carcass of elk as a cut with its own timing and sides.
As elk cookery specialised, carcass was portioned and sold ready for the pan. High-protein lean marketing put elk steaks into specialty butchers nationwide.
