Horse Sirloin

Horse sirloin is a premium cut of meat from the back of a horse, equivalent to beef sirloin. Horse meat in general is lean and dark red, with a naturally sweeter and more delicate flavour than beef. The sirloin is one of the most tender and prized cuts, rich in protein and iron while being low in fat. It is best prepared on the grill or quickly seared in a pan to retain its juiciness. While horse meat is not common in many English-speaking countries, it is a popular and everyday ingredient in France, Italy and Japan.
