There may not be a better cooking medium anywhere than duck fat. It adds a ton of flavor to potatoes, meat, fresh vegetables, anything you cook in it. This elk steak seared in duck fat with fresh rosemary only takes a few minutes and will rival anything you can get in the finest steak houses.

The secret to a good sear is really hot cast iron. Open the windows and turn on the fan, it will get smoky. 

Ingredients

2-3 pounds elk steak

2-3 tablespoons duck fat

1 large sprig of fresh rosemary

Cavender's Greek Seasoning

Jim Kelly's Gameday Realtree Garlic Salt Grinder

Spoon rosemary flavored duck fat over the steak as second side sears for another 3 to 4 minutes.
