Directions

Using a sharp knife, slice backstrap meat into thin pieces. Generously season with kosher salt and pepper and set aside.

Pre-heat oven to low broil. Heat skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add mushrooms and sauté for about 10 minutes until the mushrooms become browned around the edges.

Add mushrooms back to skillet and stir together. Remove from skillet and set aside. Add sliced meat to the seasoned skillet and quickly cook until browned. Remove from heat. Place the bottoms of the French rolls on a cooking sheet and top with game meat, mushrooms, onions and peppers. Top each half with a slice of Provolone and Havarti cheese.

  1. We made elk cheesesteak sandwiches tonight and they were absolutely perfect! We were fortunate to take 2 bulls during the archery season here in Montana this September. Only change we did was add a little sriracha/mayo. Great recipe we will definitely do again! Thanks, Kevin
