Edible antelope???
Well I must admit that I am known for my deersteaks. I marinate them (and pretty much anyother meat, wild or tame) and most of the time folks can't even tell they are eatin wildgame. BUT lastnight was a first for me. I took out some of my antelope from my WY hunt (first time) and it just flatout tasted bad. The meat was fine in appearance, moisture, color, texture etc and I know I did it properly as I did some whitetail and muley steaks at the same time and they were great.
When I brought the meat in off the grill I gave a small piece too my wife and she nearly spit it out. That overpowering SAGE flavor was there no matter what. About two bites and WHAM it would come through and overpower the marinade. Any tricks too getting that sage flavor out? The muley came from the sameranch (just south of Buffalo, WY along the Powder River) but it tasted fine.
I hate to chunk out this 'lope but if the best loins tasted like that dare I say the rest will feed the neighbors dogs!!! [:'(]
