Have you tried elk?It’s one of the rarest and most desirable of the free-range meats.But only a select few Americans know about this delicacy. What makes this cut so desirable? Of course, it’s the tenderness. The melt-in-your-mouth texture.It might be surprising that such a vigorous, strong animal, like the elk can be incredibly tender.Of course, it has to do with how these elk are raised and their final days. These elk are freer than other livestock but also far more pampered. So, their meat is surprisingly delicate.But it also has to do with the cut.The tenderloins sit on the inside of the ribcage and do very little work, so the muscle stays pliable.That texture makes tenderloins in high demand. But they’re also rare. Tenderloin makes up just 2-3% of the elk. Elk Tenderloins are a customer favorite, for sure. You can tell by the reviews shown below.
