Rare proteins including bison, ostrich, kangaroo, alligator, python, and wild boar.

Begin by properly defrosting all the exotic meats in the refrigerator overnight if frozen. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Add each type of meat to the marinade and let sit for at least 1 hour.

Marinade

Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the bison steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. For the wild boar chops, cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until well browned.
