Savor the robust, lean flavors of pan-seared elk back strap paired with garlicky whole wheat penne and crisp, roasted asparagus. This dish is perfectly balanced, showcasing tender, caramelized elk alongside the wholesome, nutty pasta and a burst of bright asparagus, lifted by subtle garlic and a hint of olive oil.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Elk Back Strap
1 cup cooked Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
1 cup Asparagus
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat dry the elk back strap and season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the elk and sear for about 2-3 minutes per side to achieve a golden crust, adjusting time based on thickness. Remove the elk and let it rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and briefly sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are tender yet still crisp.
Meanwhile, prepare the whole wheat penne according to package instructions and drain.
Toss the cooked pasta with the garlic and asparagus, ensuring the flavors meld.
Slice the rested elk back strap into medallions and arrange over the pasta. Serve immediately.
