Bison is a great source of lean protein and is significantly higher in iron than beef. Cooking bison steaks is very similar to cooking beef steaks, but because the meat tends to be leaner than beef, bison may dry out if cooked too long. Given the reduced saturated-fat content of bison, it is appropriate to use an olive oil-based marinade, which boasts essential fatty acids necessary for good health. An olive oil marinade will make bison steaks more tender while providing heart-healthy fat.
Fresh cut steaks are recommended to ship using the Next Day Air or 1-day ground service. If you are uncertain about the best option for your area, feel free to email: bison@centurytel.net or call 888-295-6332.
