Meat
Roast
Elk roast is a tied or bone-in joint sized for oven service—family centrepiece rather than a single steak. Large cervid lean red meat is milder than some wild venison when farmed or young. Season ahead, roast to temperature, rest generously before carving. Match oven heat to the muscle’s collagen. Serve with juniper, pepper, mushrooms, red wine, root vegetables and berry jelly.
