How To Make elk chili

1
Add oil to cubed elk, and mix to coat all pieces. Heat a Dutch oven, add oiled elk cubes and stir over medium heat until elk loses pink color, but do not brown too much.

2
Stir in garlic and crushed red peppers. Remove from heat. Combine chili powder, cumin, masa (or all-purpose flour), oregano, salt, and black pepper, and sprinkle over elk cubes until well coated. Slowly add broth and tomato sauce to meat, stirring until well blended.
3
Cover and simmer on low for 1/2 hour to 1-1/2 hours, or until elk is tender (do not overcook).
4
Add green chili salsa and pinto beans (drained), and simmer for an additional 20-30 minutes.
5
Serve in warmed bowls; garnish with cheese and/or sour cream.
