At FEROX, we believe in wild food, and nothing’s wilder than a good elk roast! Let’s make something special out of that elk with this twist on the classic French dip sandwich. Elk Dippers, made with tender elk sirloin tip, cooked in a pressure cooker until it’s melt-in-your-mouth good, and served on homemade sourdough buns. It’s simple, it’s wild, and it’ll make your stomach say, "Thank you!"

Why Elk?

Elk is rich in protein, lean, and full of flavor straight from nature. If you got your hands on a fresh elk roast (or even if you just picked it up from a trusted butcher), the sirloin tip is the perfect cut for this. It shreds so easily, perfect for dipping in a savory au jus. If you don’t have elk, no worries, beef works just fine!

Ingredients:

  • For the Elk Roast:
    • 2-3 lbs of elk sirloin tip roast (or any elk roast you got)
    • Water (for pressure cooking, you know the drill)
    • 2 white onions, quartered
    • 6 cloves garlic, smashed
    • 2-3 bay leaves
    • 1 jar pepperoncini
    • Seasoning of your choice (we love 6666 Original Cowboy, but use whatever makes you happy)
    • 1-2 tablespoons arrowroot powder (to thicken the au jus later)
  • For the Homemade Sourdough Buns (using your sourdough starter)
    • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup sourdough starter (make sure it's bubbly and ready)
    • 1/2 cup warm water
    • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (don’t be shy)
    • 2 teaspoons salt
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1/4 cup cornmeal (for dusting)
    • 1 tablespoon butter (to brush on after baking)
  • For the Au Jus:
    • 2 cups bone broth (beef or elk, it’s all good))
    • Salt and pepper (to taste)
    • Fresh rosemary or thyme (if you got it, add it for that extra kick)

Instructions:

  1. Pressure Cook the Elk Roast:
      First, put that beautiful elk roast in your pressure cooker. Fill it with water to cover the roast. Pressure cook it on high for about 20 minutes—this will get rid of the impurities and get it nice and tender. After that, dump the water (don’t need it), and then add your bone broth, onions, garlic, bay leaves, pepperoncini, and whatever seasoning you’re using. Seal it up, and cook on high for about 45 minutes. When it’s done, it should be fork-tender, ready for shredding.
  2. Shred the Meat:
      Once you pull the roast out, let it cool a bit. Then, using a fork, shred that elk like you mean it. Don’t worry if it’s falling apart — that’s how it should be! Throw the shredded meat back into that delicious broth.
  3. Make the Au Jus:
      To thicken that juicy goodness, mix the arrowroot powder with a little water to make a slurry. Stir that into the broth with the elk. Let it simmer a bit until it thickens, and taste it—season it with more salt or pepper if you need to. If you want to get fancy, throw in some rosemary or thyme for that herbaceous flavor.

  1. Make the Sourdough Buns:
    • Now, grab a big bowl and mix your flour, sourdough starter, warm water, honey, salt, and olive oil. Knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Let it rise for about 1-2 hours, until it’s nice and puffy. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down the dough, then divide it into 6 balls. Shape them into round buns and set them on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal. Bake them for 20-25 minutes until they’re golden brown. As soon as they come out of the oven, brush them with butter — because why not?
  2. Assemble the Elk Dippers:
    • Slice your fresh sourdough buns in half, and if you like a little crunch, give them a light toast. Take the shredded elk and pile it onto the bottom half of each bun. Spoon some of that rich au jus on top so the meat soaks up all the flavor. Top it with the other half of the bun, and there you go — your wild Elk Dipper!
  3. Serve & Enjoy:
    • Serve these bad boys with a little cup of au jus on the side, so you can dip and dunk. The flavors of the elk, the sourdough bun, and the rich broth will hit your soul. It’s the kind of meal that makes you appreciate the wild, the hard work, and the reward of a great hunt.

The Savage Experience

These Elk Dippers aren’t just food; they’re a reminder of the wildness that we’re all connected to. Every bite takes you back to the hunt, to nature, and to something real. Whether you’re around a campfire with friends or sharing it with family, it’s a meal that brings you closer to the wild with every delicious bite. So, next time you’re hungry for something savage, grab that elk roast, fire up the sourdough, and let’s eat!

Instead, we listen, learn, and collaborate with the people who use our gear in the field every day. Whether it's family, friends, elite sportsmen, outfitters, or everyday adventurers, their input is essential in shaping what we create.

Our goal is simple: to craft gear that serves those who rely on it. We believe that a truly great product comes from real-world testing and real-world feedback.

Feedback is crucial to us. We’re constantly working with our community to improve and refine every detail of our products. Hearing how our gear performs — and where it can be improved — helps us ensure that we’re meeting the exact needs of those who rely on it. It’s this dialogue, this ongoing process of listening and evolving, that allows us to deliver the best possible gear for any adventure.

It’s a lifestyle rooted in tradition, health, and respect for nature.

At FEROX, we believe in living wild — embracing a lifestyle that connects us to nature, to each other, and to the food that nourishes us. This lifestyle is not just about adventure; it’s about living with intention, passing down knowledge, and experiencing the world in its purest form.

Living Wild - Being in the Outdoors: A Sanctuary of Peace and Relaxation

Being in the Outdoors: A Sanctuary of Peace and Relaxation

There’s something uniquely calming about stepping into the wild. For us, the outdoors isn’t just a place we visit — it’s where we feel most at home. Whether we’re hunting, shooting, or simply enjoying a hike, there’s a deep peace that comes from disconnecting from the noise of the modern world and reconnecting with nature.

The outdoors teaches us patience, respect, and the raw beauty of life. When we’re out there, we find relaxation not just in the scenery, but in the quiet moments — those times when the world slows down, and we can breathe deeply and reset. It’s about finding peace in nature’s rhythms, whether that’s the wind in the trees, the sound of a stream, or the sight of an animal in its natural habitat.

Living Wild - Family & Friends: Creating Lasting Bonds and Passing on Traditions

Being in the Family & Friends: Creating Lasting Bonds and Passing on Traditions

The outdoors is where we bond with family and friends, creating memories and traditions that last for generations. It’s a place where we teach our children not only survival skills but also the values of respect, responsibility, and the importance of community.

Hunting is as much about the people you share the experience with as it is about the hunt itself. The lessons we learn from each other — whether from a loved one or a close friend — are invaluable. From tracking skills to sharing stories around the fire, it’s these connections that deepen our understanding of the wild and strengthen our relationships.

For us, it’s about ensuring that the next generation has the tools to live a fulfilling, self-sufficient life, grounded in the understanding of nature’s cycles. And it’s about learning from the people around us who challenge and teach us, helping us grow stronger and more capable with each passing season.

Living Wild - Health and Nutrition: Becoming One with Nature

Being in the Health and Nutrition: Becoming One with Nature

Living wild means understanding that we are part of nature — not separate from it. Eating food that comes from nature is more than just fueling our bodies; it’s about honoring the land and the animals that sustain us.

We believe in eating the healthiest food possible — food that is pure, unprocessed, and nutrient-dense. From wild game to fresh meat to the fruits and vegetables we harvest from the land, we know exactly where our food comes from, and that connection is priceless. The nutrition we gain from these foods is a reflection of the land itself — beautiful, rich, and nourishing.

Harvesting an animal or foraging for wild food is not just about eating to survive; it’s about honoring the creatures and the land that provide for us. The connection we feel to the wild is reflected in the meals we prepare, share, and enjoy together.

Living Wild - A Way of Life

Being in the Living Wild: A Way of Life

To us, living wild isn’t just a motto or a trend; it’s a way of life. It’s about living with intention, embracing our primal instincts, and giving thanks for the beauty of nature. It’s about passing on these values to our children, showing them the peace that comes with being outside, and teaching them the importance of nourishing their bodies with real, whole food.

At FEROX, we’re proud to be a part of this lifestyle. We continue to honor the outdoors, our health, and the bond of family and friends — all while living wild.
