Choosing And Preparing Wild Game Meats
Wild game meats have long been a part of restaurant menus, usually to showcase the talents of chefs who recognize the versatility of these meats. In the past few years, most wild game meats have become available to consumers. As a result, there's been an increased interest in how to choose and prepare various types of wild game meats.
Don't be concerned with trying wild game meats. The market for these meats is exploding, and for good reason. Wild game meats are lean, tasty, low in cholesterol, and easy to prepare. In fact, you'll spend less time cooking these meats because their lower fat content means less cooking time. For a perfect comparison, consider ground sirloin vs. ground beef.
Several dozen varieties of wild game meat are now available, usually via specialty internet providers. Here are just a few examples: ostrich, buffalo, elk, caribou, alligator, and elk. Or, you can try snapping turtle, kangaroo, or llama.
What Type Of Cuts Are Available?
Most of the above examples are available in a variety of cuts. You can typically buy most wild game meats as burgers, steaks, and roasts. Also, wild game sausage is a lean, tasty delicacy and generally available in most wild game meats. Many can also be purchased as ribs or racks.
Cooking Wild Game Meats
There's really no special preparation necessary for any wild game meats. Just as you'd marinate chicken or pork, you'd similarly marinade lighter texture wild game meats like snapping turtle and rattlesnake. Most wild game meats are red meats, so if you wish to marinade these meats, use something similar to any red meat mixture.
As for actual cooking of wild game meats, the major factor is not overcooking. Red meats like buffalo, elk, ostrich and kangaroo are extremely lean. Therefore, just like any very lean meat, they are best prepared to medium rare, cooked through. Our personal observation is the main reason why people don't like wild game meats is because they're overcooked. These meats can be grilled, roasted, pan seared ... the exact same manner you'd cook other red meats.
You can use any beef, pork, chicken, or even seafood recipe with a wild game counterpart. Stews, burgers, roasts, chili, meatballs, and medallions are popular ways to prepare these meats. Wild game meats are highly adaptable to just about any recipe or preparation method you can imagine. The biggest difference? Lower fat and cholesterol!
