Rocky Mountain elk runs leaner and sweeter than beef, and Fort Collins treats it as an occasion cut, seared rare with Colorado whiskey close at hand.

Game has fed the Front Range since long before the city had a name for itself in beer, and farmed Rocky Mountain elk keeps the tradition on modern menus. In Fort Collins, The Still Whiskey Steaks pairs its elk steak with a list of more than 100 whiskies, over 50 of them Colorado-distilled, in a log-cabin room on North College Avenue. The meat's low fat means kitchens serve it rare to medium-rare and let the mineral sweetness carry the plate.
