Hickory Planked Elk Recipe
Not many things are better than a fine elk steak, well, maybe a cold beer after wandering the desert for 15 hours or maybe a nice cold lake to dive into when you’ve been lost under the blistering, scorching, horribly devastatingly hot sun. If I can’t have those, which I did not, well, I did have beer, however, the beer rations were depleted fairly early on due to the ridiculous heat that is produced in this vast bleak and so very dry desert. Where was I? Ah, elk steak, on a Hickory plank, of course. Saddle up because this recipe has some kick to it.
