I'd eat that whole thing.
Wow!! I'm at a loss for words.Summer vegetable sauté - Zucchini, red, yellow, and golden bell peppers with fresh morel mushrooms. Had fresh garlic, shallots, EVOO, and balsamic vinegar. I cooked/seared the peppers directly on the hot coals and removed the skins after they had cooled.
Paired the vegetables with Sous Vide Elk tenderloin over a bed of fresh morel mushrooms sautéed in a red wine, shallot, and thyme sauce. My mother said “I’m having a religious experience right now!” as she was eating. I think that’s the best cooking compliment anyone has ever given me.
Oh yeah! Save The Good shit for when you go back home!Summer vegetable sauté - Zucchini, red, yellow, and golden bell peppers with fresh morel mushrooms.

ETA: The elk was cooked medium rare, but it doesn’t look like it in the picture. The color changed after I poured the sauce on.

Did you forage the morels?Summer vegetable sauté - Zucchini, red, yellow, and golden bell peppers with fresh morel mushrooms. Had fresh garlic, shallots, EVOO, and balsamic vinegar. I cooked/seared the peppers directly on the hot coals and removed the skins after they had cooled.

No, I wish! They don’t grow out here on the east coast.Did you forage the morels?
I didn't realize that? Lots of die hard, territorial morel hunters around here, but I've never gone looking.No, I wish! They don’t grow out here on the east coast.
That looks right up my alley!!My niece and family bought me a medium sized Big Green Egg a few years ago. They make a pizza stone for it and it does a fairly decent job of cooking a pizza. Not nearly as hot as a pizza oven, but I've still done some good ones on it. And a couple of burnt ones; temp and timing are critical.
Here's a 3 rib beef rib I did on the ol' big home made grill, there's just salt and pepper on there, but the fat crisped up to look like actual bark.View attachment 43053

You can get the Egg up to 700-750 for pizza but it blows out the seal if you do. While that is hotter than an electric over (usually 500-550) it is pretty close to a good wood over 700-800 but nowhere near a real NY coal fired oven at 1100-1200.
I've tried smoking them a few times, but always prefer them grilled. Cooked a bunch of them that way this weekend actually that were phenomenal.Tritip kicks my butt. I do fairly well but haven't hit Great yet.
Good for you.
Put it on at 210 until it hit 120-125 , then kicked it up to 250.Tritip kicks my butt. I do fairly well but haven't hit Great yet.
Good for you.
Are you slicing them for the grill or just doing slabs of meat?I've tried smoking them a few times, but always prefer them grilled. Cooked a bunch of them that way this weekend actually that were phenomenal.
