Coat a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
Add the elk and sauté for 5 minutes, browning all sides. Remove from pan and tent with foil. Be careful not to overcook!
Melt the butter in the skillet and add the shallots and mushrooms. Sauté for 4 minutes.
Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds stirring constantly to prevent garlic from burning.
Stir in the soy sauce. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1 minute stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in the broth and stir until smooth.
Add the salt, pepper and thyme. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes until thick.
Return the meat and accumulated juices to the pan and cook until heated through.
Discard the thyme sprigs.
Serve over egg noodles or steamed rice.
Enjoy.
