Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Gator Meat

    In a large bowl, combine the gator meat, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the meat is evenly coated with the marinade.

  2. 2

    Refrigerate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld and the gator meat to tenderize.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). If using a stovetop, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Grill the Gator Meat

    Remove the gator meat from the marinade and shake off excess. Place on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the meat has nice grill marks.

  3. 5

    Rest the Meat

    Once cooked, remove the gator meat from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate and Garnish

    Slice the gator meat into medallions and arrange on a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
