Shoulder

Eland shoulder is collageneous forequarter meat—best braised, pulled, minced or slow-roasted until yielding. Large African antelope yields lean mild venison-like meat suited to steak and biltong. Brown well, add liquid and aromatics, cook until a spoon meets little resistance. Deep flavour for ragù, curry and pies with pepper, coriander seed, chilli, bush spices and red wine.
