The EMU Meat is high in vitamins and minerals, as well as fatty acids and is low in cholesterol. It is important to prepare the meat in such a way that the goodness is kept as unchanged as possible.
In order to keep the vitamins and other nutrients intact, it is important to cook EMU Meat as quickly as possible over high heat. When preparing steaks for instance, it is desirable to slice them thinly and then pan fry them quickly. This also ensures that the meat does not become dry or loose its tenderness.
Another important factor when cooking EMU Meat is not to make the mistake of adding to much oil or fat to the pan when it is cooked. EMU Meat is lean by nature, and we do not wish to spoil this healthy meat by adding too much fat. | | |
