Ingredients: 1 lb ground elk meat; 1 onion, finely chopped; 2 cloves of garlic, minced; 1 carrot, diced; 1 celery stalk, diced; 1 cup of beef broth; 1 tablespoon tomato paste; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1 teaspoon dried rosemary; Salt and pepper to taste; Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

Prepare the Elk Mincemeat Base: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add the diced carrot and celery, cooking until they start to soften, approximately 5-6 minutes.
Cook the Elk Meat: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the ground elk meat to the center. Break up the meat using a wooden spoon and cook until browned, ensuring it is cooked through.
Incorporate Flavor and Liquid: Stir in the tomato paste, dried thyme, and dried rosemary, ensuring the meat and vegetables are coated evenly. Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
Simmer and Serve: Reduce the heat to low and let the elk mincemeat simmer gently for about 20-25 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary. Once the mincemeat has thickened and the vegetables are tender, it is ready to be served.
