Questions about Antelope
What does antelope meat taste like?
It is a lean game meat with a mild, slightly sweet flavour, often compared with venison. Its low fat content means it can dry out if you cook it for too long.
How do you cook antelope steaks without drying them out?
Pat the steaks dry, season them and sear them in a very hot pan for about 2–3 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Rest them for 5 minutes; for safety, cook the centre to 70 °C.
Is antelope good for slow cooking?
Yes. Use tougher cuts such as shoulder or shanks in a covered casserole with stock, onions and herbs; simmer gently for about 2–3 hours, until tender. Avoid boiling, which can make the lean meat tough.
How should you store fresh antelope meat?
Keep it covered on the bottom shelf of the fridge and cook it within 1–2 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly, freeze it, and thaw it in the fridge before cooking.
What dishes can you make with antelope?
Use diced antelope in a game stew or pie, or make burgers and kebabs from minced meat. For burgers, mix in a little oil or finely chopped fatty meat to help keep them moist.
Can you use venison instead of antelope?
Yes. Venison is a practical substitute in steaks, stews and pies, with a similar lean texture and game flavour; cook either meat carefully to avoid drying it out.
Is antelope meat a source of iron?
Yes. A 100 g portion provides 3.2 mg of iron, so antelope is a source of this mineral.
