Meat
Mince
Elk mince is finely ground meat for sauces, pies, kofta and stuffings—everyday form of this lean or game animal. Large cervid lean red meat is milder than some wild venison when farmed or young. Brown without steaming, drain excess liquid if watery, build flavour with aromatics from juniper, pepper, mushrooms, red wine, root vegetables and berry jelly.

Mince of Elk: composition reflects this culinary part relative to the whole ingredient.
History
Indigenous North American hunters used elk as primary large-game meat; mince of elk took a named place in that kitchen trade.
Game processors portioned elk like beef into steaks, roasts and burger. Cooks treated mince of elk as a cut with its own timing and sides.
As elk cookery specialised, mince was portioned and sold ready for the pan. High-protein lean marketing put elk steaks into specialty butchers nationwide.
