Lunch: Elk Tenderloin with Mushroom Sauce

Ingredients

12 ounces dark Mexican beer, such as Negra Modelo or Dos Equis Dark
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1 tablespoon very finely diced shallots
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
Four 8-ounce trimmed pieces elk tenderloin

Instructions

For the marinade: Combine the beer, hoisin, soy, shallots, garlic and rosemary in a small bowl and whisk together. Arrange the tenderloins in a glass or ceramic bowl, and then pour over the marinade to thoroughly coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. Preheat a grill to medium heat. For the mushroom sauce: Place a saucepan over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the mushrooms, salt, pepper and shallots and saute, stirring frequently until beginning to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in the wine to deglaze and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, 4 minutes. Add the demi-glace, stock, cream and thyme leaves, and simmer until thickened just enough to coat the back of a spoon. Meanwhile, remove the meat from the marinade. Coat with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until medium rare, 2 to 3 minutes. Let rest before slicing and serving with the mushroom sauce.
