Elk Pot Roast with Bacon

This is an easy recipe that is excellent using Bison meat or Elk and Venison. Our Elk and Bison products have no gamey taste, therefore marinating is not required. As with all Northfork Bison meats, our animals are raised without the use of antibiotics.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 pound bacon
  • 2 onions chopped
  • Flour
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 lb elk chuck roast
  • 1 tablespoon pickling spice (or Montreal steak spice)
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 4 tbs. brown sugar
  • 1 lb stewed tomatoes

Preparation:

  1. Fry Bacon until crisp, remove from pan and crumble.
  2. Saute onions in bacon grease remaining in the pan until golden.
  3. Sprinkle flour salt and pepper over roast and brown on all sides in the pan.
  4. Combine remains ingredients, except for bacon, and pour over roast.
  5. Cover and cook slowly on top of the stove for about 3 hours or until tender. Add water if liquid in the bottom of the pan gets too low.
  6. When meat is tender, remove from the pan and strain juices. Add crumbled bacon, flour and cold water to juices to make the gravy.
