Kinikin Processing 5.33 oz. Rocky Mountain Elk Burger - 30/Case

Details

Offer your guests a true taste of the wild American West by serving the Kinikin Processing Rocky Mountain elk burger! Elk, also known as "wapiti," is one of the most prized game meats, renowned for its clean, slightly sweet, and rich flavor that's remarkably similar to beef. Elk meat has a much milder flavor than venison, with none of the "gaminess" associated with deer, but a distinctive, savory richness that sets it apart. Plus, this elk meat is a nutritious addition to your menu! It's lower in fat and calories than beef, but higher in protein, offering a leaner, healthier alternative. It's also packed with iron, B vitamins, and other essential nutrients, making it a great choice for patrons who are trying to eat healthy! This meat comes from animals that are raised with care by expert Colorado ranchers. These elk spend most of their life grazing on the verdant pastures of western Colorado, and are finished on grain for consistent flavor. Unlike other game meat distributors, Kinikin never imports their elk; you can rest assured that you're serving your customers the finest 100% American Rocky Mountain elk! Plus, their meats are never produced with antibiotics, growth hormones, or steroids, and they use only humane slaughtering and processing methods to ensure the finest quality meat for your patrons.

Adding elk burgers to your line of offerings helps to diversify your burger menu while adding rustic charm to your establishment. Your patrons will love sinking their teeth into these flavorful and juicy 5.33 oz. patties! When preparing these elk burgers, it's not recommended to cook them past medium doneness. Since elk is leaner than beef, it can become dry and somewhat chewy if overcooked. Once you've cooked your elk burgers to perfection and nestled them on fluffy buns, it's time to select your toppings! Elk's mild flavor makes it a perfect pairing for a wide variety of accompaniments and condiments. Counterbalance this meat's leanness by pairing it with slices of creamy avocado, crispy and fatty bacon, or even flavorful bacon jam! These burgers pair well with a wide variety of cheeses, though melty swiss and creamy, funky blue cheese are tried-and-true favorites. Amplify this burger's flavor by pairing it with juicy sliced tomatoes, rich caramelized onions, earthy sauteed mushrooms, or spicy arugula. For a hint of something sweet that complements this burger's wild origins, spread the bun with lingonberry or wild blueberry jam! No matter how you choose to serve it, this elk burger will make an enticing addition to your menu.

Nestled in the soaring mountains of western Colorado, the rural town of Montrose is a picture-perfect location for ranchers to run herds of cattle and elk. In the countless acres of prime grazing land that surround the town, animals roam lush mountain pastures and consume a varied diet, creating some of the finest meats money can buy! In 2003, Kinikin Processing was founded with the mission of connecting Montrose ranchers with consumers by offering delicious, locally-sourced meats at reasonable prices. What began as a small operation producing elk jerky and meat snack sticks quickly grew into a local favorite spot for smoked meats, butchery, and processing! This family-owned and -operated company is proud to offer hand-cut meats, specialty elk products, and expertly dry-aged beef, all while supporting their local community and helping farmers prosper.
