Tips For Preparing Bison
Bison meat is a very lean meat, as a result, it cooks quicker. The golden rule is not to overcook. We like to instruct people, low, and slow, the rarer the better.
Roasting
Set oven temperature to 250 - 275 degrees and use a meat thermometer to check for doneness at 110 - 120 degrees. At this lower temperature, your roast should take the same amount of time as beef is cooked at a higher temperature.
Pan Frying, Pan Broil
High heat only for searing! Then turn the heat down. Remember Bison cooks faster than beef, don't overcook that steak! Watch your cooking time.
Braising
After searing, low, and slow and plenty of moisture. Since Bison is so lean you'll need to keep it moist. It's a good idea to marinate these cuts of meat first and make sure that the meat is basted frequently.
Broiling/Grilling
Move your rack further away from the heat source. Broil as with beef, but shorten the cooking time. Turn the steaks a few minutes sooner and check for doneness.
Following these few simple guidelines will ensure a tasty, mouthwatering product that you will want to serve again and again.
