About Game meat, moose, raw

Moose (Alces alces), known as the Eurasian elk in Europe, is the largest member of the deer family, and its dark red meat is a lean, flavorful game meat long valued by hunters and Northern communities across Scandinavia, Canada, and Alaska. Because moose are wild browsers that are hunted rather than farmed, the meat is not sold in most supermarkets and reaches the table mainly through hunting and subsistence traditions.

Moose tastes much like beef but leaner and a touch richer, with a mild, clean, slightly sweet flavor rather than a strong gamey one. The very lean meat is an excellent source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins, with little fat. It is used much like beef, in steaks, roasts, burgers, sausages, stews, and chili, and the ground meat is often blended with a little pork or beef fat for moisture.

Its leanness means it cooks quickly and is best served rare to medium, while tougher cuts do well braised low and slow. Look for deep red, firm meat, cook it gently over moderate heat, and keep it well chilled or frozen until you are ready to use it.
