Fan Fillet

Emu fan fillet is a premium whole-muscle steak from ratite butchery—tender, lean, even thickness for pan and grill. Lean Australian ratite red meat is beef-like in colour, low-fat and fine-grained. Sear hot, finish rare to medium-rare, rest. Overcooking past medium toughens the lean meat. Treat steaks like venison—rare to medium-rare; overcooking turns tough.
