Cooking with Bison

With Bison, you go low and slow, due to the leanness of the meat. We do not suggest cooking your meats over medium. We also suggest you trim off all the fat after cooking as bison fat tends to be a little like chewing rubber.

Grilling & Broiling

Use Medium Heat and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, dependent on thickness.

Roasts

Use an uncovered pan with a rack in it
Season and add 1-2 cups of liquid to the bottom of the pan
Brown roast in a hot oven (500 degrees) for 30 minutes
Reduce Heat to 250 degrees and using a meat thermometer cook to 145 for medium rare and 155 for medium
Slice at a right angle to the grain of the meat and serve

Pot Roasts & Braising

Use a pan with a cover to create moist heat to cook the meat from the shoulder, brisket, round, or short ribs
Brown meat in a small amount of oil
Simmer on top of the stove or in a 300-degree oven
