About Game meat, beefalo, composite of cuts, cooked, roasted
Beefalo is a hybrid animal — and the meat it yields — created by crossing domestic cattle with the American bison, typically aiming for about three-eighths bison ancestry in a stable, fertile breed. Ranchers developed it in the twentieth century to marry the hardiness and lean, flavorful meat of the bison with the docile temperament and easy management of cattle. The animals graze well on marginal rangeland, tolerate harsh weather, and often need less grain, which appeals to anyone raising livestock more sustainably.
On the plate, beefalo tastes much like beef but leaner, with a slightly sweeter, richer flavor and noticeably less fat and cholesterol; it cooks faster than ordinary beef and can turn tough if overdone, so gentler heat suits it. As a red meat it is an excellent source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12. Sold in the same cuts as beef — steaks, roasts, and ground — beefalo stays a niche product, prized by shoppers looking for a leaner, range-raised alternative to conventional beef.
