When discussing bison, one of the most common questions is “Isn't it gamey?” For many people, their first experience with red meat other than beef is an overcooked, gamey deer steak served at their weird uncle's house. In this article we will discuss the incredible eating experience that bison meat can offer. 

Taste

The perception is that bison meat is tough with a gamey flavor, in reality it is very similar to beef, but offers a bolder, sweeter taste. Bison meat is also a versatile ingredient that can be prepared in a variety of ways. Its lean texture and rich flavor make it suitable for grilling, roasting, and even slow cooking. From burgers and meatballs to stews and stir-fries, bison meat can be used in a range of dishes as a beef substitute to add a unique and delicious twist.

"Bison is a great alternative to beef. It has a similar flavor profile, but with a slightly sweeter, richer taste and a more tender texture." - Bobby Flay, American celebrity chef and restaurateur.
