Emu meat is a heart-healthy alternative to conventional red meat. The tenderest cuts of emu meat are the fan filet, flat filet, and the inside strip. For those who prefer meat that is well done, a moist heat cooking method is recommended.
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. Spread half of the spice mixture onto the roast and cover. Marinade for 4-6 hours in the refrigerator.
