Ask to see the seal!
Never settle for less!

The best stake I ever had was at the oldest restaurant/bar in Denver, CO - The Buckhorn exchange. I had the Buffalo filet and it was outstanding. It was better than any angus I have ever had.

The worst steak I ever ate tasted like...

... well, a stake.

[Solson]

Doh! so much for proof reading. :) STEAK! STEAK! STEAK! :)

[RKV]

If you ever get to Santa Barbara, PRK, head to Woody's BBQ. They serve buffalo ribs (and have for years) and the sauce is outstanding, too. Not to mention the great collection of antiques on the walls.

Had it in Chicago, some trendy South Loop bistro. Tasted like tough steak. Gimme some prime filet or sirloin any day.

Is bi-polar Bison disease something like mad cow disease?

[dinasour]

A friend and I do a game dinner every year in which one of our main features is a bison steamship round roast.

Bison does not have the fat content of conventional beef and must be served very rare, or you might as well eat your shoe.

That being said, it is *very* much better than beef.

[Solson]

Yep...I ordered it Medium and it was cooked to perfection. I believe Buckhorn won't serve it any other temps besides rare or medium.

[dinasour]

I'm sure it also depends on the cut. Even beef round roasts tend to be tough, if not properly prepared.

But well-done bison meat definitely doesn't work.

I have been cooking with bison for a few years now. I've made pizzas, burritos, chili, and of course burgers with bison. However I'm also from Cattle Country and still love to cook with beef as well as venison. One thing to note that the American beef industry does not use spinal cord and brain matter in their feed, which many have pointed to as being the culprit in outbreaks of mad cow disease in Europe and Canada. So please enjoy both American beef and bison.

I cooked up some buffalo burgers a few weeks ago. Not bad.
After dinner I asked my son (He's 6) how he liked his burger.
"Good."
I then asked him if he knew what it was made of.
"Cows."
Nope those were Tatonka.
"What's Tatonka?"
Buffalo, I told him. A few few days later he complained of an upset stomach and was sent to the school nurse, she quized him on what he had eaten recently.
"I had Tatonka a few days ago."

The rest is history.

mmmm bison

[Solson]

My cut was a 10 oz. tenderloin filet.

I am tempted to try cooking some at home.

Last summer we met a bison rancher near Devils Lake WI.

We bought some ribeyes from him. It was the best d*** steak I've ever eaten.

[junta]

Buffalo rib eyes served medium rare, can't beat em.

[BlueLancer]

The best steaks that I ever ate came off of these ...

[doodad]

I prefer beefalo to regular cow or bison, but ostrich is really good too.

[Revolting cat!]

Somebody has to say it, dammit: it tastes like chicken!
