Elk round roast is a lean, flavourful cut taken from the hindquarters, known for its tender texture and slightly sweet, mild taste. Much like bison, elk is high in lean protein without being tough or gamey, making it an excellent choice for those looking for a healthier, satisfying protein option. This cut is perfect for slow roasting, braising, or even grilling, as the cooking process helps to enhance its natural tenderness. Simply season with your favourite herbs and spices, or pair it with a rich sauce like gravy or a red wine reduction to complement the elk's natural flavour. Whether served with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad, elk round roast is a versatile and nutritious option for any meal.
