Then add the red wine and buttermilk and stir everything together. Let cool down.
3. Put the leg of the elk inside and let it steep for three days in a cool place. The meat loses its typical, strict game taste as a result of this marinade.
4. After the 3 days, remove the meat from the stain and pat dry with kitchen paper. In an appropriately large, fireproof casserole, fry in hot clarified butter until golden brown on all sides. Sprinkle a good pinch of sugar into the roasting tray. Start cooking with the game stock.
