Apple Whiskey glazed Elk steaks

When the weather chills and many cant go outside to cook a delicious wild game steak, here is a recipe that will keep your body warm and your tummy full.
I used Elk steaks but have repeated this recipe with deer and antelope and it is just as delicious.

This sweet blend of apples, brown sugar, maple syrup and whiskey elevates any cut of meat. I served mine over a bed of wild rice.
