One of the most common questions we get is about how to cook our bison, elk and venison. Since people are already familiar with most of the cuts from a lifetime of cooking beef, the assumption is that the cooking methods are also similar.
The good news is that for the most part, they are! However, because 100% grassfed bison and other wild-raised game meat like elk and venison are naturally leaner than beef, there are a few key differences that need to be noted. Follow these basic guidelines and you’ll have a perfectly cooked and extremely juicy steak, roast or burger every single time!
