Had random old bits of frozen elk from someone. Decided to slow cook it and serve with mashed potatoes.

~2 lb. Elk Roast

Box of Cremini Mushrooms

2 Leftover Carrots

1/2 Leftover Orange Pepper

Cup or so Petit Verdot (only red wine I had, very floral/fruit forward, secret garden vibes)

Cup or two of beef stock

3 Garlic Cloves

Salt and Pepper

Box of fresh Poutry Spices

2 bay leaves

Some gold potatos, milk, butter, salt for the mashed potatoes

Since the elk was frozen for an undisclosed amount of time, and I dont have experience slow cooking elk, it was a little dry/grainy but with good flavor. The gravy it made was out of this world though and I used some of the leftover gravy to flavor some ramen the next day.

I'm getting an elk roast out this weekend and give that a try.

I find onions and tomatoes help the dryness with a long braise, you can take them out of you don't like the texture or acid taste in the gravy. My grandmother taught me that trick with moose.

That looks fantastic

I've braised meat that's frozen 2+ years. As long as it doesn't have freezer burn it's fine. The dryness is probably because it's a lean meat to start with and you may have over cooked it a little (ask me how I know, haha).

Still looks delicious to me though!
