Elk Shurpa

Cookinero 20 Apr 2025

Shurpa is a national eastern dish. It is prepared from different types of meat, including elk. It is similar to beef, but has a richer taste. Elk meat must be properly prepared, since elk meat has large fibers and, to prevent it from becoming dry and tough, it must be kept in water or marinated. When buying, choose a pink fillet with white veins. If the elk meat is dark, then the animal is old.
