DELICIOUS

ZEROGamey taste
  • Cooks and eats like your nicest cuts of beef
  • Lean but not dry or tough — a spring-like leg tendon absorbs the impact of running, so the body's muscles stay stable and tender
  • Even the toughest cut compares to one of your best cuts of beef
  • The easiest red meat to try first if you're branching out from beef, pork or chicken
