Elk Tenderloin with Berry Sauce

A succulent elk tenderloin served with a sweet and tangy berry sauce. Perfect for a special occasion or a gourmet dinner at home.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Season the elk tenderloin with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the elk tenderloin and sear on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 10-15 minutes, or until the elk reaches your desired level of doneness.
While the elk is roasting, make the berry sauce. In a saucepan, combine the garlic, mixed berries, red wine, honey, and thyme.
Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
Remove the elk from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve the elk slices with the berry sauce drizzled on top.
