About Bison meat
Bison meat is the edible flesh of bison and is sold as steaks, roasts, ground meat, and other cuts. It is commonly cooked by grilling, roasting, pan-cooking, or braising, depending on the cut.
Its colour and texture vary with cut and handling; cooked meat is generally savoury and meat-like, with a flavour often described as somewhat fuller than beef. Ground, whole-cut, fresh, and cured or otherwise processed forms are not interchangeable in culinary use or composition.
