Sous vide cooking is a great way to prepare elk steak, as it ensures that the meat is cooked to perfection with no risk of overcooking or undercooking. This recipe uses the Anova Precision® Cooker to cook the elk steak at a precise temperature, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish that's perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. This recipe is designed to work with elk steaks, which can come from a variety of cuts such as elk loin, elk ribeye, or elk striploin. As long as the cut of elk is suitable for steak, this recipe should work well. However, the cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the elk steaks used. This recipe can be adapted to work with bone-in elk steaks as well. The cooking time may need to be adjusted slightly depending on the thickness of the steak and the size of the bone. It's important to make sure that the bone does not puncture the vacuum-seal bag during the cooking process, as this can cause the steak to cook unevenly or lose moisture. To prevent this, you can use a thicker vacuum-seal bag or place a small piece of parchment paper between the bone and the bag to create a buffer. Elk steak pairs well with a variety of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.

Ingredients for 2

  • 2 elk steaks, about 8 ounces each

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme

Directions

  • Step 1

    Attach an Anova Precision Cooker to a vessel of water and set the temperature to 130°F (54°C).

  • Step 2

    Season the elk steaks generously with salt and pepper.

  • Step 3

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and thyme sprigs, and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the seasoned elk steaks to the skillet and sear for about 1 minute on each side, until browned. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the steaks cool for a few minutes.

  • Step 4

    Once the steaks have cooled, place each steak in a separate vacuum-seal bag. Add a sprig of thyme and a tablespoon of the garlic-infused oil to each bag. Seal the bags using a vacuum sealer.

  • Step 5

    Place the sealed bags in the preheated water bath and cook for 1 to 2 hours.

    • Finishing Steps

    • Step 0

      Once the steaks are done cooking, remove them from the water bath and discard the thyme sprigs and garlic-infused oil. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and sear them in a hot skillet for about 30 seconds on each side, until browned. Serve the elk steaks hot with your favorite side dish.
