Emu meat is a low fat red meat, rich in protein, iron and other minerals. Its water content is less than we are used to in other meat.
To make it even more healthier, our birds are being raised without antibiotics, hormones or any other medications or chemicals – they do not need it!
What does it taste like?
It tastes a little like game, bit of deer – bit of cattle. Fat accumulates under the skin and not between the muscle fibers. Therefore special attention should be made to temperature and time when frying: grills and steaks should be made quickly and at a very high temperature, preferably not fully done; “rare” or “medium” keeps the taste and tenderness the best! Frying for too long may dry the meat up. For a “well-done” slice moist heat cooking is recommended.
Or with a Sousvide cooker we can make a real masterpiece either from meat or liver!
