Planning your next grilling menu? The Butcher Shoppe’s Marc Zahra welcomes the opportunity to propose some intriguing ideas including: kangaroo, elk and buffalo. Offering exotic meats, along with prime beef cuts such as rib-eye, strip and porterhouse steak, his Pocono Lake store has been creating fans of this flavorful fare for over 40 years.
Alongside wife Debbie, Marc describes the major pitfall in grilling delicacies like ostrich tenderloin, wild boar burgers and venison strip loin. With less than 3% fat, he cautions, “Don’t overcook them as they will dry out.”
Recommending, “Simple is better,” he also strongly opposes marinating before cooking. “It masks the flavor,” he explains, and suggests instead using a touch of extra virgin olive oil along with a light coating of kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper, and granulated garlic before searing that scrumptious steak.
