Steak

Emu steak is a portioned slice for pan or grill—cut from loin, haunch or other suitable muscles depending on the butcher. Lean Australian ratite red meat is beef-like in colour, low-fat and fine-grained. Pat dry, season simply, cook hot, rest. Lean game steaks want rare to medium-rare and a sauce or fat. Treat steaks like venison—rare to medium-rare; overcooking turns tough.
