COOKING SUGGESTIONS . . .

Since emu meat is low fat, it loses moisture quickly and is best when cooked to a rare or medium rare doneness (145º to 160º F internal temperature as measured by a meat thermometer). Emu meat will retain some of it's deep red color when fully cooked. Some of the moist tenderness will be lost if cooked to a total brown color.

Emu meat adapts well to many recipes. Because of its mild flavor, emu meat accepts most seasonings. It responds especially well to sweet marinades made with honey, soy sauce, ginger, lemon juice and garlic. Grilling on a barbecue after marinating is an excellent way to bring out the succulent taste of emu meat.
