Whole Muscle

Emu whole-muscle portions are intact unbroken muscles—ideal for even steaks, roasts or precise restaurant fabrication. Lean Australian ratite red meat is beef-like in colour, low-fat and fine-grained. Trim silver skin, portion across the grain, cook by thickness. Showcases the meat without mince or stew masking. Treat steaks like venison—rare to medium-rare; overcooking turns tough.

History

Aboriginal Australians used emu meat and fat across arid regions; whole muscle of emu took a named place in that kitchen trade.
