Elk Sate (Satay) with Peanut Sauce
by Bobbie Jo

He Hunts She Cooks

Elk striploin is marinated for 24 hours, then quickly grilled and drizzled with a simple peanut sauce for a play on an Indonesian favorite. I made it a main course with coconut milk rice and steamed edamame with chili flakes and black pepper! Meats on a stick are the perfect food.  
 
It can also be served as a buffet appetizer by placing the skewers on a bed of dry roasted peanuts along with a small bowl of peanut sauce. 

Prep Time:  24 hr 15 min
Cook Time:  6 min
Total Time:  24 hr 21 min

For the Elk
  • 1 lb Elk Strip Loin (substitute any other venison)

Marinade
  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup scallions, cut into rings, including green parts
  • 4 tbs. toasted sesame oil
  • 3 tbs. brown sugar
  • 3 Tbs. roasted sesame seeds
  • 2 tbs anchovy paste (eliminate if allergic, but don't worry, it won't taste fishy)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 Tbs. crushed red peppers
  • 2 tbs. dried onion flakes
  • 1 tbs. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. ginger powder

Peanut Sauce
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 large jalapeño, seeded cut into small mince
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbs. minced fresh ginger
  • 3 tbs. hoisin sauce (black bean paste)
  • 2 tbs. low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbs. sesame oil
  • 1 tbs. brown sugar
  • Juice of one whole lime
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions, divided in half *reserve half for garnish
  • ** 1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts for garnish, (may be eliminated)

For the Elk
  • Cut the elk strip loin into one inch wide pieces three inches long and set aside in a large glass baking dish or in a zip lock bag.

For the Marinade
  • ​Mix all the ingredients and pour over the elk strips.
  • Marinate for 24 hours.
  • Pre-heat the grill to 350º-400ºF.
  • Thread the elk strips on on the top end of a skewer.
  • Place the skewers on the grill for 1 minute per side.
  • DO NOT OVERCOOK.
  • Serve the peanut sauce overtop or in a small bowl.

For the Peanut Sauce
  • Mix all the ingredients and drizzle over meat after cooking.
  • Refrigerate if not using right away and re-warm slightly just to bring to room temperature.
  • *Don't be concerned if the peanut sauce separates a little, this is normal, just re-mix the sauce.

Notes
​*This recipe is great for any venison, antelope, goat, duck, pheasant, domestic beef or pork, or chicken.

Having A Heart for the Hungry

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ...."    Matthew 25:35   

Having a Heart for the Hungry
 
What do you do when you get hungry? Do you go out to eat? Do you check your refrigerator or cabinet for something to eat? Do you go to the grocery store to get more food if food is getting low?  Unfortunately, not all the people in your community can do that.
 
In 2016 there were 41,204,000 people in America who were not getting enough to eat. Too many people are unable to purchase an adequate amount of food and are having to choose between buying food and paying utilities, transportation, medical care or housing. Some people struggling with hunger stretch their food budget by purchasing less expensive unhealthy food, watering down food or drinks or selling personal property. No one should have to live like that!  And they don't have to!

Picture
You can make the difference!
February 14th is a day that celebrates love.  Luke 10:27 says to "Love your neighbor as yourself."  FHFH chapter coordinators, hunters who donate deer or elk, farmers who donate livestock, participating meat processors and our financial supporters all have a heart for those who are struggling with hunger.  They care about those in need and are doing something to help them - they are "loving their neighbor"!
 
We are asking you to have a heart for the hungry this Valentine's Day and join with FHFH to provide nutritious meat to the hungry children, families, and seniors in your community!  Will you open your heart for those who are hungry?
  
On behalf of FHFH and all those in our country suffering from hunger, we THANK YOU for your generous support!

Sincerely,

Venison Meatballs With Chili-Cranberry Sauce

Venison Meatballs with Chili-Cranberry Sauce
By Bobbie Jo Wasilko
He Hunts She Cooks
 
These meatballs can be frozen in batches and added to a variety of sauces, soups, and stews or serve all of them for a block party!  Baking them in the oven on foil lined sheets makes quick cleanup, and large batches can be cooked at the same time, and the meatballs don’t fall apart.
 
Makes: 2 pounds = approx.45 mini meatballs
 
BASE MEATBALL RECIPE:
 
  • 2 lb. Ground Venison (or any wild game), keep the ground venison cold!
  • 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup crushed Corn Flakes (adjust based on how the mixture is looking, add if more binder is needed to shape meatballs, otherwise, stick to 1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 cup Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs (or plain + 2 tablespoons dried parsley and 1 tablespoon dried oregano)
  • 1 tbs. Garlic Powder
  • 1 tbs. Onion Powder
  • 1/3 cup finely minced White or Yellow Onion
  • 4 tbs. Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tsp. Kosher Salt
  • 1 tsp. Fresh Ground Black Pepper
 
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. 
 
  • Lightly beat the eggs.
  • Crush corn flakes to medium ground in a sealed zip lock bag
  • Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix. 
  • Using a small ice cream scoop, portion out about 48 meatballs, then roll in between palms to shape.
  • Line a baking sheets with foil and add meatballs. 
  • Place the baking sheet on the middle rack and bake in the oven for 7 minutes then gently roll meatballs over with a fork and bake for an additional 7 minutes. 
  • Remove and leave on the baking sheets to cool COMPLETELY. 
 
 *Freeze in batches in zip lock bags with as much air removed as possible or vacuum bags and use directly from the freezer and place in sauces, soups or stews. 
 
 
 SAUCE: CHILI-CRANBERRY SAUCE: 
 
**About 48 Pre-Cooked Frozen Meatballs 
 
  • 1 can Whole Cranberry Sauce (14 ounce)
  • 1 bottle Chili Sauce
  • 1/3 cup Dried Onion Flakes
  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Ketchup
  • A splash of Worcestershire Sauce
 
Preheat the oven to 350ºF
 
For Oven Baked:
  • Add all the sauce ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  • Pour the sauce into a 9x13 glass baking dish.
  • Add the frozen or fresh meatballs.
  • Bake, covered for 35 minutes, then remove the covering and bake another 10 minutes.
  • Serve with steamed rice.
 
For the Crock-pot:
  • Add all the ingredients and stir.
  • Add the meatballs.
  • Cover and cook on lowest setting for about 90 minutes.

Serve with steamed rice and sautéed green beans or as a pot luck for a large cocktail party.
 
**When hubby wants to go hunting, I mix all the ingredients, including the frozen meatballs and pour it into a foil pan, and place raw green beans on top. I seal it with aluminum foil.  When Hubby comes back to camp at the end of the hunting day, he places the pan in the Camp Chef oven at 300º and allows it to bake while he gets himself cleaned up. Forty-five minutes later, he serves them with 3 cups minute rice… his hunting buddies love it and there is little clean-up and cooking for him to do.
