Bison Cooking Guide
Sometimes referred to as Americaâs âoriginal red meat,â an estimated 60 million bison used to roam the American countryside. Providing around 17 grams of protein per raw 4-ounce (113-gram) serving, bison is an excellent source of protein. It packs a good amount of essential nutrients, including protein, iron, zinc, selenium, and B vitamins with a similar taste to leaner cuts of beef. Since bison has much lower fat content, it has a slightly drier texture with an earthier flavor.
| Cut Type | Method | Cook Temp | Avg Time | Finish Temp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bison Ground | Sear | 375 °F | 4-7 mins | 160 °F |
| Bison Steaks | Sear | 450 °F | 9-12 mins | 145-160 °F |
| Bison Roasts | Oven | 275 °F | 7-8 hours | 145-160 °F |
| Bison Dogs | Grill | 350 °F | 6-9 mins | 160 °F |
Note: The above guidelines are only guard rails. Average time depends on size/amount of meat. Stoves and pans vary in performance as well; so to achieve perfectly cooked bison, it's best to have a meat thermometer handy and check internal temp so meat never exceeds 160 °F.
