Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to prevent the meat from drying out.

Substitutions: You can substitute venison or beef steak for elk if wild game is unavailable. Use beef broth instead of red wine for an alcohol-free version.

Tip: For extra tenderness, marinate the elk steak in the Worcestershire sauce and red wine for 1-2 hours before cooking.

Variations: Add a tablespoon of mustard to the sauce for a tangy kick, or include diced bell peppers for added color and sweetness.
