Meat Brine

Elk Steaks in Brine

This brine works well on red meats. I use it often on beef and game steaks. It helps the meat take on your marinade and tenderizes.

For 10 pounds of boneless steak I mix 9 cups lukewarm water and 3/4 cup of canning salt. Pour over meat. Cover and let the steaks set in refrigerator for just under 3 hours..

Rinse off the brine. Then marinate.
