Slow and Low

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Fat acts as an insulator for most proteins. That is why you can cook beef quickly and without fear of drying it out because it has a high fat content. However, bison meat is extremely low in fat, which makes it much healthier. But one thing that many people do on accident when cooking bison the first few times is that they cook it too quickly at too high of temperatures.

So the number one rule to remember is slow and low. When broiling, move your oven rack down one notch and check it sooner. When roasting buffalo/bison, lower your oven temperature and cook the meat more slowly. It will shrink less, thereby retaining more natural juice.

By taking your time, frequently checking for doneness and cooking the meat at lower temperatures, you will be ensured a juicy and delicious meal.
