Bison offers nutritionally-dense red meat with 25% to 30% more protein than beef, 25% less cholesterol and about half the calories. Higher in iron and possessing a sweet flavor, bison is the ultimate free-range, good-for-you red meat.
As with all lean game meats, our bison top sirloin steak is best prepared using lower temperatures than you would for beef. Because there is virtually no fat on this steak, there is no protection from the heat, and the meat cooks more quickly than beef does, so keep an eye on it when cooking it for the first time.
The firm, dense meat of this top sirloin steak is best when served rare to medium rare. Always add a little fat when cooking; either brush lightly with oil, baste with butter, or use rendered bacon fat in a heavy pan. If grilling, use the cooler part of the grill.
Full-flavored bison top sirloin is amazing when thinly sliced and stir fried. It pairs well with other quintessential American ingredients like corn, tomatoes, peppers, chilies and bourbon (a nice deglazing agent in a pan full of bison drippings).
These indigenous animals, often incorrectly called buffalo, are raised on vast pastures in Canada and the U.S. to our exacting specifications. The Plains Breed Bison graze on prairie grasses as they have done for many centuries, with minimal human interaction. Their grass-based diet is supplemented with grain and hay.
A state-of-the-art integrated system of corrals, funneled walkways, and chutes are designed to provide safe and humane movement of bison on and off the ranches. The bison are brought to market at 22-26 months of age.
