Thank you, RP!
Quoth shankyknitter View PostI've never used Elk before but the farmer's market has it and Elk chili just sounds good.
It's always worked for me.

Quoth Jester View PostThank you, RP!
I've never used elk either, but I have a suggestion, which pretty much applies to any meat you've never used before: talk to someone who has, and pick their mind about ways to prepare it, its upside, its downside, etc. If you can't find anyone who's used it, get online and look for information on it.
It's always worked for me.
The thing to remember about cooking elk is not to overcook it,since there's no fat it'll dry out.In a stew or chili this isn't as much of a concern but you still don't want to cook it as long as you do beef."If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you.This is the principal difference between a man and a dog"

Based on what Freddie said, if I were cooking that chili, I would give the elk a quick sear on each side, then cube it up and toss it in the chili pot. Of course, having never cooked elk, or eaten it, or dealt with it anyway other than shooting at it on Big Buck Hunter, I may be way wrong on this issue...but that's my take on it.

Don't bother with searing it Jester,just cut it up & throw it in,it'll cook up just fine.Buffalo's good too,treat it the same way.
One thing I run into when I serve people elk or venison is they expect it to taste gamey,that only happens when it's not properly processed in the field.If you buy it commercially you don't have that problem,it's a very rich tasting meat."If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you.This is the principal difference between a man and a dog"

Quoth Jester View PostI've been accused of being many things, but modest has not often been one of them.
To be fair, I don't bother with false modesty, because I like being upfront and honest, but if I suck at something, I'll be the first to say it. So while I can be humble, modest, not so much.Unseen but seeing

Quoth Becks View PostI use the word modest towards you...let me think...approx. every 7 conversations.

Quoth Jester View PostWhich is amusing, when you think about it. Because I am not modest in either definition of the word.Unseen but seeing

Congrats on the win! Your signature chili sounds YUMMY, and you get major points in my book for actually using a ghost chile (I gave a seedling to my stepfather and he just glances at it suspiciously every so often)."I am quite confident that I do exist."
