I made this dish with moose round steak, I added two sticks of chopped celery, and one sliced green bell pepper, and used whole garlic cloves instead of the powder, and canned chopped tomatoes. Very good with garlic mashed potatoes.

yech. took an hour and a half and it ended up tasting like canned stew. and the tomato flavor was way too strong

Cooked this recipe this PM, and it turned out pretty good. I think next time I will pound the steaks out a little thinner and maybe add capers. <br/>I enjoyed the dish, just thought I should "tinker" with it some.<br/>Thanks and have a great one!!!!

Yum-de-yum, yum, yum! We had some elk steaks given to us (now I wish I had more!) and my hubby and decided to try this out. It's great - meaty, saucy, spicy, flavorful... falls apart like a pot roast almost. (If you never had elk before, it's not terribly "gamey", but the tomatoes in this make it even less "gamey"!) Thanks for sharing!

I made this recipe yesterday and it was fantastic. Everyone loved it. I read the reviews and took some suggestions from there - I used jarred spaghetti sauce, seasoned bread crumbs instead of the flour, browned in oil/butter, added some chopped green pepper and celery. I'm sure it would have been just as great if I hadn't changed a thing, but I like to experiment sometimes if I have the ingredients. I will make this again and again, although I might have to use beef, since we don't come into elk meat that often. Thank you for the recipe!
