Today’s post is about something a little bit exotic that we made. We decided to make horse beef recipe on the grill. Do you think the kids loved it or hated it?
First of all, stop thinking “Ewwww”. I know most of you think it because that’s what we thought too. But part of having a food blog is the excitement we feel about trying new food. The meat tasted very, very good. I preferred it to regular beef, and Chantal loved it as well. It is clean, it tastes great and, surprisingly, it is less expensive. Win, win, win!
We topped our horse beef burgers with feta cheese and tomatoes, as well as ketchup. We put garlic, bell pepper, and red onion inside of the meat; it was delicious. So, did you think about the kids? Do you think they liked the horse beef burgers or they hated it? They enjoyed it quite a lot! Chantal and I cheated, however. We didn’t tell them they were eating horse meat because we know them and they are trying.
Once they were done, we asked, “Do you know what you ate?”, we then told them it was a horse, and they were both surprised and quite happy with their discovery! All in all, we think we will do more stuff with horse beef since it can replace any beef from any recipes. Shepherd’s pie with horse beef? Not a bad idea. Not a bad idea at all.

Horse meat is incredibly lean and tastes amazing, our whole family loved them! Something to remember is that horse meat is dry so let it marinate a little and because it is so lean – adding egg white or breadcrumbs to your hamburger patty is necessary to keep the patty from breaking.
