I would almost just crust that bad boy with minced garlic, horseradish, kosher salt, an aggressive amount of black pepper, fresh thyme and a little worchestershire (Just to hold it together)
Let it sit out on the counter (covered) for 45 minutes to allow the meat to bench rest for even doneness in cooking.
Place it in a roasting pan in a 225 degree oven until you get an internal temp of 125 to 130.
Then bring the oven up to 400 and finish it for 10-15 minutes or an internal temp of 135.
This is basically how you do a beef prime rib or a chateau briand.
The two roasting temps will give you a juicy medium rare interior with a flavorful browned crust.
Since it's a loin and not a T-Loin, you'll want to slice it a half inch thick (No more).
Best with Garlic mashed potatoes and olive oil broiled asparagus dressed in sea salt. (Or sauteed mushrooms)
Collect any drippings to make a spicy Elk gravy... Deglaze the roasting pan with half a cup of red wine and half a cup of heavy cream. Add ground pepper corns and then follow standard gravy procedures.
For a wine, you'd have a hard time doing better than a Cabrenet Savignon!

If I did that I'd have to sit down to piss for 3 days or get out the broom handle to push him back out.
Marinade it for AT LEAST 24 HOURS before you make it, use plenty of salt and like Nainoa said, leave it out for 45 mins to absorb the goodness. Another tidbit I'll pass on is NEVER, EVER use garlic in the marinade for jerky, you'll only do that once, lol. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

So far, I've been using Hi Mountai Jerkey Cure that I get from the stores around here. So far it's made amazing jerky. People at work that have tried it keep coming by like crackheads wanting another fix.

Naw, it's usually not too bad. If anything, the beer coolers get emptied first. We are used to storms so we generally prepare better.
Went and talked to Dad's neighbor to get a hunting plan going for next Saturday. We were driving around his property and he was showing me the blinds, and we saw 7 deer right then. they weren't too scared, either. Excellent...The hardest part of a zombie apocalypse will be pretending I'm not excited.

Well most of us are smart enough to have stocks at home for emergencies. The world could shut down right now and I'd still have food and toilet paper to last 3+ months without rationing.
I'm a little in the extreme. But in general when you live somewhere that calls for you to tough through 4 extreme seasons you're always prepared!6'4"

Wow, the elk jerky turned out awesome. Oddly enough, the beef I also did turned out way saltier. Same seasoning and cure mix for both. Maybe the fattier beef absorbs more salt?
Either way, I am very pleased with my jerky making abilities. I am addicted.The hardest part of a zombie apocalypse will be pretending I'm not excited.

Had a good long day on the water Saturday. Fished the inter-coastal for a few hours and it was kinda slow so we decided to go to the mouth of the river on the 17' skiff. It was only possible since the seas were mostly flat so we fishing in the ocean until dark riding the 3 & 4' swells. The occasional barge or Navy ship gave us a few good rides where we had to hold on tight

When we camp for duck hunting on the island we walk the rocky shoreline with crab tongs and pull out Stone Crabs and boil them up in camp, sweet juicy claws them things have and can't get any more fresh than that. We catch tons of blues too but not much meat and PITA to get to it. One time we pulled up a trap and had a damn big blue and a good Stone in there, dumped them out into the net and the Stone grabbed the Blue's claw and crushed it like an egg then ripped it's arm off.

Should be a good spot, but the bounties on a lot of these West Texas counties have pretty much wiped them out. I hunted a private ranch around 2007 season or so, one of the neighboring ranches reported seeing a coyote and a government chopper worked the area for over a week straight until they killed 3 and determined they were all gone.

There are quite a few, and the hogs somehow haven't made it out there yet as far as I can tell. There are a few javelina out there, lots of porcupine, Aoudad and some Mouflon sheep along with the deer of course. My son flung an arror at a nice tall 10 point last year. I'm headed back next week alone, hopefully will get some action.

LOL... My wife just came home with 2 month's worth of toilet paper... Because as she said "We're running low" (We only had around 2 months left!)
I am down to 120 gallons of fuel oil in the back up furnace, so I would have rather put that money in the kitty to restock the tank.
Ironic that I'm resources rich but cash poor!

I'm going to be offline for an extended period of time because uncle sam wants me to go play somewhere! Should be fun!
Take it easy guys, go kill me some animals, and catch some fish for me.
I should hopefully make it back by the end of spring turkey??★cVc★
