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.

Wild game meats are becoming more well known in the consumer marketplace as people discover their ease of preparation. People who try these meats are almost always very pleasantly surprised. For those preparing these meats, they soon discover they are actually easier to cook due to their low fat content.

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 And Other Preparation

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.

When you cook wild game meats, there's one simple rule: don't overcook! In fact, this is the common complaint from those who've tried wild game meats. They've been served overcooked game meat, which is dried out. Since wild game meats have a much lower fat content, they take less time to cook and are best served medium rare, cooked through. As far as preparation style, you can grill, roast, pan sear, or any other method by which you normally cook meat.

Regular red meat recipes can be readily substituted with wild game meats. Chili, stew, burgers, roasts, are some common cooking methods. There are great recipes for buffalo meatballs, rattlesnake chili, and alligator jambalaya. Or how about elk medallions, ostrich skewers, and turtle fricassee? Basically, any recipe for traditional meats is perfect for wild game meats. The biggest difference is ... less fat, less cholesterol!
