- Comments: Anyone who pays much attention to my recipes knows which I have a thing for cooking fish and game with garlic and alcohol. They all just seem to go well together. I also prefer simple, rather than complicated recipes and try to get by with as few ingredients as possible. The above recipe fits this criteria. Do remember to take a few extra min to carefully trim your elk and remove all fat, gristle and silver skin.
