Beef lovers, meet your new obsession: elk from First Light Farms. 🥩
First Light touts its elk has having the same health benefits of the company’s grass-fed venison, including being low in saturated fatty acids, high in protein, and high in vitamins and minerals like iron, B-12, and niacin. And when you open the package of elk medallions it’s clear you’re working with meat that’s significantly leaner than beef.
This being the first time I’ve ever eaten elk, I can’t really compare it to the quality of other elk on the market out there. I didn’t really know what to expect going in, but something in my mind was preparing for this meat to be gamey and considering how lean it was, I was fearful it would be tough. It was neither. I pan seared my elk medallions to medium-rare, with a straight-forward seasoning of salt and pepper.
I will admit, I may have offset some of those health benefits by making a butter-mounted pan sauce to spoon over the meat after it was plated—I told you I wanted to make sure it tasted great! However, I did make sure to try some of the meat without sauce so that I could render a fairer judgement on its merits, and I came away impressed. This is definitely a red meat for beef lovers looking for a leaner, healthier option, but I didn’t feel like I was skimping because I was having elk.
