Rounding Up The Bison Critics!
Posted On 06-21-2008 , 12:44 PM
Our research on healthy meats led to a Father's Day party, with me playing backyard chef. Our family as a rule all have an opinion and are honest critics about food. What a great time to experiment with bison burgers and bison franks.
We used our gas grill for the bison and our smoker for some marinated chicken breasts. The cook time on the 1/3 pound burgers was five minutes per side with a hot fire. The bison dogs took only two minutes per side, turning about four times.
Wow, what a hit!
Everyone loved the bison burgers, juicy and flavorful, but some thought the dogs were a bit tough. Everything served was very healthy, including wheat buns, organic spring mix salad greens, fresh tomatoes, and all the other condiments. We all ate outside on the deck, enjoying another beautiful Oklahoma summer evening. Over the years we have had many getogethers with the family, this will be well remembered. We fed twenty people, total time spent preparing, about thirty minutes. High Plains Bison has some wonderful products. We will reorder.

What A Dinner - Range-Raised Bison Filet Mignon!
Posted On 06-18-2008 , 9:52 AM
What a dinner! Sandy and I just finished one of the best home cooked meals we've had in some time. Bison filet mignon, baked sweet potatoes, organic baby spinach salad, and fresh baked wheat bread was on the menu.
The bison (buffalo) came from High Plains Bison. We are trying several companies that sell Bison, organic range-raised of course, to find the best to recommend to our readers. This evening I grilled the steak five minutes on a very hot fire, turned once, cooked another four minutes, removed from the grill and let rest for five minutes. The meat was very tender and cooked medium rare still very juicy. The only seasoning used was virgin olive oil, sea salt and cracked rainbow peppercorns. The whole meal took only twenty minutes to prepare. The salad was fresh organic baby spinach with sunflower seeds, apples, oranges, avocado, and Italian dressing. Yum!
Every one wants to go out to eat, but staying home we saved $50 on the meal and $15 in gas expense. If any of you have a good recipe for a heart healthy meal, drop us a line.
