Season elk steaks with coarse kosher salt and coarse ground black pepper on both sides.

Preheat a cast-iron skillet on the grill until hot.

Add butter to the skillet and let it melt before adding the steak.

Sear the elk steak in the skillet for 2 minutes to create a crust.

Add garlic and a sprig of rosemary to the skillet for flavor.

Flip the steak after 2 minutes and sear the other side for another 2 minutes, drizzling melted butter over the top.

Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
