Steak of a wild boar is one of the most nutritious meat parts you can find. Carnivores and keto people will love this amazing dish for sure.

Is wild hog meat good to eat?

Currently I live in a colorful continental part of Croatia, Baranja. It's actually a birdwatcher's and hunters paradise. There is a huge wild animal population and wild boar meat is very often on the tables here. And I like it!

This time I decided to prepare a wild boar joint meat as a steak. Wild boar meat is not like a pork meat as most people think. It's flavorful and very lean, completely different than the pork.

Tips to prepare perfect wild boar joint stewing steak

When you prepare a wild boar meat on this way it will be juicy and tender. Wild hog/boar meat is very lean so it can become dry when cooked. That's why you need to be careful and cook it for a bit longer time than cooking your usual beef steak.

Definitely, it will be worth of your effort! You will get super nutritious meal, rich in flavor and vitamins.

Slow cooking

Joint of a wild boar needs longer cooking, preferably in a slow cooker or covered on a very low heat in the oven.

I like to use wild boar joint trimmed and cut in steaks. On that way you can prepare it in significantly less time and make it delicious!

Low carb veggies with meat

To prepare this dish in low carb or keto way, use some low carb veggies. I use some onion, peppers and celery staples. Of course, I had to add a little carrot in this dish. Carrot is small so it won't raise the carbs so much but it will add so much to authenticity of this low carb meal.

That vegetable mix is great flavorful combination that elevates meat flavor and perfectly goes together.

As a side dish I like to serve some steamed or cooked broccoli with a spoon of a grass fed butter and veggies cooked with meat.

Keto cast iron cooking

In my keto kitchen, cast iron is very important! Very often I cook some meat or veggies in my cast iron on the stove and finish in the oven.

That technique is perfect for wild boar joint steaks. To make them tender it's the best to cook them on on the stove for few minutes on a very high heat first. That way you prevent juice to go out from the meat while cooking. That's how this delicious meat will stay juicy.

Finishing the meat in the oven will make it tender. This meat should be finished slowly because it will become dry if cooking fast.

If you do this properly you will definitely have a feast of great nutritious food.
