Cooking Tips for Specialty Meats
If you’re new to working with specialty meats, here are a few pro tips to ensure perfect results:
- Don’t overcook: Many game meats are lean and can dry out quickly.
- Marinate thoughtfully: Marinades enhance flavor and tenderness.
- Pair flavors wisely: Bold herbs, sweet fruits, or acidic elements (like citrus or vinegar) work well with most game meats.
- Use a meat thermometer: Internal temperature matters—especially for lean cuts.
