Elk Wellington

[JohnDeereGreen]

One of my favorite things to do with back straps. I typically leave them in larger pieces, usually 3-4 on a side, depending on how long they are. I use a classic recipe for beef wellington, and just substitute elk for the beef. Roast the meat in a pan til its nice and brown, then a layer of prosciutto, mushrooms, chive crepes, and finally puff pastry. It's pretty good stuff.

This is one recipe I've never tried. Might have to rethink that. Looks wonderful!
