Buffalo Meat

   

Why Eat Buffalo ( Bison ) ???

Pure and simple it's the taste! Buffalo is the most flavorful red meat available to today's consumer. It tastes similar to beef with perhaps even a sweeter and richer flavor. Bison meat is a darker red color than beef but without any of the "gamey flavor". Naturally nutritious, tender, and easy to prepare. It just doesn't get any better than that! Bison is a dense meat, satisfying you more while you eat less, and the meat will not shrink down during cooking.

Bison is an excellent red meat source and rich in flavor. Research conducted by Dr. M. Marchello, University of North Dakota, has shown that bison is a highly nutrient dense food because of the proportion of protein, fat, minerals, and fatty acids to it's caloric value. Comparison to the nutritional values of bison has shown that bison meat is low in fat and calories and high in protein and nutrients. Studies also prove that bison has a greater concentration of iron as well as some of the essential fatty acids.

One serving of buffalo meat provides 34% of the daily recommended amounts of protein, 32% of zinc, 33% of iron, 10% of antioxidant selenium. Bison meant is also non-allergenic, making it easier to digest by people with a red meat intolerance.

TIPS FOR COOKING

Since bison meat is leaner then much of the meat you are probably accustom to preparing, let us offer a few guidelines to ensure you enjoy this product to it's fullest.

  • Due to the low fat content, bison meat will cook more quickly then other meats. Watch it carefully to make sure you don't overcook it. Bison is best when cooked rare to medium-well.
      

  • Searing burgers and steaks quickly on both sides with help lock in the juices.  Be sure to lower the heat and "the lid" once it is seared. 
      

  • For juicer steak, use tongs to flip. Piercing it with a fork will allow the natural juices to escape.
      

  • Brushing your steaks with a nice oil before cooking will also help to lock in those tasty natural juices. Our favorite is "Virgin Olive Oil".
      

  • Although not required, another way to prepare steaks is to marinate steaks 24 hours in marinade of choice before cooking.
      

  • Try the 3-3-3 method on your steaks. Grill over a hot flame for exactly 3 minutes on one side, then again got 3 minutes on the other side then shut the burners off and leave your steaks on the grill for another 3 minutes. Serve Immediately!
      

  • For roasts, turn your heat down about 50 degrees. If you normally cook at 325 degrees, lower it to 275 degrees. You need not worry about over cooking if you are using a crock pot or other moist heat.
       

  • Bison hamburger is very lean. Lower the temperature when cooking bison burger and do not overcook it. Bison burger is also fool-proof when added to your favorite recipes such as chili and meatloaf.
