Animal advocates are voicing concern over wild horse treatment after the New York Times reported that several hundred were being sold to slaughter since Donald Trump took office.
My late father told me the toughness can largely be tenderized by boiling it for like an hour, then beating it with a meat tenderizer, before the actual final cooking on the grill/stove/oven/fryer.
I was once given a piece of fully cooked, but not boiled in advance, wild boar meat, about the size of a McDonald’s chicken nugget. It was so damn tough that it literally took me over an hour to chew and swallow.
Yes the flavours may bit a bit more, but here in NZ our beef is generally outside all year and grass fed so tends to be richer/stronger than some meat that I’ve had overseas.
And like any meat, treat it well to get the most out of it
Wild meat tends to be a lot tougher to chew and tastes gamey…
