Elk With Black Bean Sauce

Billings, Montana...enjoying incredible early Fall weather in one of our most beautiful states. I'm working my way, preparing wild game dinners, from Bozeman to Billings to Fairmont Hot Springs and, finally, to Missoula. Elk season is in full swing and I'm being bombarded with requests for recipes. It seems that just about everyone in Montana has a refrigerator full of elk.

Courses: Main Course
Serves: 6 people

Recipe Ingredients

1   Bite-sized elk hindquarter roast pieces - see * Note
  Lawry's Seasoned Pepper - to taste
3 tablespoons 45mlVegetable oil
1   Beef broth
3 cups 480g / 16ozBlack beans - soaked overnight
1   Yellow onion - roughly chopped
6   Garlic cloves - minced
1/4 cup 59mlLow-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon 15mlHoisin sauce
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlSesame oil
3 tablespoons 45mlRice vinegar
2 tablespoons 30mlPlum preserves
1 tablespoon 15mlMinced pickled or fresh ginger - (to 2)
6 cups 960g / 33ozWarm cooked rice - (to 8)

Recipe Instructions

* Note: Trim roast of all fat and gristle and cut meat into bite-sized pieces (measure the diameter of your mouth and divide by 2 to determine exact size).

Season meat with pepper.

Heat oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat, add meat and brown evenly. Add beef broth and beans to pot and add enough water so that liquid is about one inch over contents. Add onion and garlic, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 2 to 3 hours.

Add additional liquid if necessary to cook beans and soften meat. Check the meat for doneness by squeezing gently. When ready for the next step, the meat should start to break apart with your fingers. Play with your food, go on, it's O.K.

Strain out all but about 1 cup of liquid from the pot. Add remaining ingredients except rice. Simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors. Adjust seasonings if desired. Serve over rice.

This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
