Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 elk tenderloin (about 2 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the elk tenderloin dry with paper towels.
  3. Rub the tenderloin with olive oil, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary.
  4. Coat the tenderloin evenly with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
  5. Sear the tenderloin in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare.
  7. Let the tenderloin rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Elk tenderloin cooks faster than beef—check doneness early.
  • Letting the meat rest ensures juiciness.
  • Adjust black pepper to taste.
