About Game meat, bison, ground, cooked, pan-broiled

Bison, often called buffalo in North America, is a large native bovine (Bison bison) whose lean red meat has become a popular alternative to beef. Once central to the diet and culture of Native American peoples and hunted nearly to extinction in the 1800s, the animal has made a celebrated comeback and is now raised on ranches across the Great Plains. Bison delivers a flavor much like beef but a touch sweeter and richer, without a gamey taste.

Because the animals are typically grass-fed and often raised without added hormones, and the meat is naturally lean, bison is lower in fat and calories than most beef while being an excellent source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12. It is used much like beef, in burgers, steaks, roasts, chili, meatballs, and dried jerky. Its leanness means it cooks faster and is best served rare to medium, since overcooking can quickly dry it out.

Look for bright red bison meat with little marbling, cook it gently over slightly lower heat than you would beef, and let steaks rest to keep them tender and juicy.
