Preparation Steps
1
Pat the emu steaks dry with paper towels. Score the surface lightly in a crosshatch pattern to help the marinade penetrate.
2
In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Rub the marinade all over the steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
3
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
4
Grill the emu steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your liking. Be careful not to overcook them, as emu meat is lean and can become dry.
5
Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing, to allow the juices to redistribute.
6
Slice the grilled emu steaks thinly against the grain. Serve immediately with roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad. Garnish with extra fresh rosemary, if desired.
