Antelope Meat Recipes

The following recipe is taken directly from http://www.huntingtipsandtricks.com/a/Antelope_Meat_Recipes . The website offers a lot of other great recipes and tips (I'm not affiliated the site).

"Antelope meat needs proper preparation and cooking to make it a worthwhile effort. Antelope is a meat that is low in fat and will need frequent brushing with oil when cooking. When grilling the antelope you will need to keep brushing it with a coating of oil to prevent it from drying out. This will prevent the meat from sticking to the pan or from drying out and will retain a succulent crust on the top. Antelope is meant to be cooked to a medium rare for it to remain tender and moist. The pieces best suited to this kind of cooking are the loins, fillets, or chops. An internal temperature of 130 degrees leaves the antelope deliciously moist and juicy. When roasting antelope it should be at low temperatures, like 180 degrees to 200 degrees F for longer hours. It should be tender when pricked with a fork."

Here is a recipe that you will surely relish in preparing your antelope dish.

Add mashed potato to form dough, using the water

Place the dough in the refrigerator to chill, while you prepare the antelope meat

The steak should be cut into narrow strips. Then dip each strip into the seasoned flour

Put a tiny blob of fat into the center of every strip of meat. Roll each strip and place them into a casserole or deep baking dish

Fill half a dish with water and cover closely to bake the meat for one hour in slow oven. Later remove cover

Roll the crust out flat and place it over the meat

Return the baking dish to the oven to bake for another twenty-five minutes

To lend variety in flavor add few small pieces of mushrooms, oysters or kidney to be cooked with the antelope steak.

Eat freshly when prepared. You may use some sauces to go with it if you like.
