Ingredients

• 1 pound elk steak, cut into strips

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 onion, sliced
• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, combine crushed black peppercorns, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub the mixture evenly over the elk steak strips.
3. Add the seasoned elk to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the elk from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, about 8 minutes.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the vegetables.
6. Return the elk to the skillet and simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the elk is cooked to your desired level of doneness.

8. Serve the peppered elk skillet over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
