Cooking guide
Cooking guide
Bison is prepared like beef, but because it's leaner, it’s cooked more quickly to avoid drying out. Barbecuing is the perfect way to cook bison.
BASIC COOKING ADVICE
- Let meat sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat the skillet or barbecue to high before cooking so the meat browns nicely.
- Add salt right before cooking to avoid drying out the meat.
- Remove meat from the heat a little before reaching desired doneness because it will continue to cook for a while at room temperature.
- Loosely wrap meat in aluminum foil and set aside to rest for ten minutes before cutting.
FOOD SAFETY TIPS
- Do not allow raw and cooked foods to come into contact. Never place them on the same plate.
- Never serve marinade as a sauce for the meat unless it has been boiled for at least 10 minutes beforehand.
To determine if the meat is sufficiently cooked, refer to the following chart.
For a bison steak on the barbecue:
- Cook uncovered, directly on the grill.
- Target internal temperature: 70°C (158°F).
- Barbecue heat: medium-high.
- Cooking time: approximately 6 to 8 minutes per side.
Hygiene tips
- Avoid any direct contact between raw and cooked foods. Never place them on the same plate.
- Never serve the marinade as a dipping sauce unless it has been boiled for at least 10 minutes.
