try this: high plains bison

I don't think I've ever tried bison, but my husband has been a huge fan ever since his business trip to Montana. (Which is apparently where the buffalo roam, because I think he ate it every meal while he was there, including breakfast.) Now our local farmers market sells (non-organic) bison, but I confess that I've never gotten the gumption to try it out.

So when High Plains Bison offered to send me some bison meat to try, I jumped at the chance. Not for me, but because I knew my husband would be thrilled. A Styrofoam container
arrived at our door a few days later, filled with gourmet bison steaks, sausage and
hot dogs.

I was so surprised at how healthy bison is. According to the website, bison is "naturally lean and lower in saturated fat than beef, chicken, pork, or
even salmon. The dense proportion
of protein, fat, mineral, and fatty acids to caloric value make bison
one of the more nutrient-dense meats available today." We grilled up the lot the other night and we were not disappointed:

Everything was delicious.  The kids gobbled up the bison hot dogs, then started begging for some of our steak. Which we grudgingly gave them teeny-tiny pieces of, because it was amazing. I only seasoned the steak with salt – nothing else – and they were fabulous. My husband knows steak – having visited some of the country's best steak houses on business trips – and he said he could not believe how excellent these steaks were!

Now note that because bison is so much leaner than beef, it require slightly different
cooking techniques.  High Plains Bison has many
recipes on their site, and the packages came with 
instructions as well.  So don't just throw it on the grill like a regular steak – bison only takes about 1/3 the time to cook and you'll end up with a burnt mess!
