Tips:

  • Use a high-quality cut of elk meat, such as tenderloin or backstrap, for the best results.
  • Marinate the elk meat in a mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger for at least 30 minutes before cooking to tenderize and flavor it.
  • Do not overcook the elk meat, as it will become tough. Cook it over high heat for a short period of time, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
  • Use a combination of sweet and sour ingredients in the sauce, such as pineapple, orange juice, and vinegar, to create a balanced flavor profile.
  • Serve the sweet and sour elk with rice, noodles, or vegetables for a complete meal.
