Bison Roast

Okay, I got ahold of the buffalo meat that I mentioned in a previous thread. I'm testing out a few burgers and a roast this week. Are there any suggestions for preparation that the experienced buffalo conniseurs could share with me?

    One should grill it over an open fire....lightly seasoned, of course while you are wearing your Smoking Jacket....turning fork in one hand and cognac in the other....some tasteless people prefer to watch Buffalo Ted Turners CNN while cooking, I'd strongly suggest to turn off the TV and play "Rawhide" by Frankie Lane while savoring the aroma....

    Grilled over an open fire...mmm...sounds good to me. "Rawhide" may be a bit of a stoop for the likes of someone wearing a smoking jacket though. I'd better do that in Wranglers and a flannel shirt. Now we're cookin'!

    I am a lover of buffalo meat and also very rare meat. Buffalo steaks are not good rare. They are tough if undercooked and leather if overcooked.The roast will be the most tender well tasting slab of meat you have ever had. Cook it on low all day in the crockpot.

    Rembrandt--thanks for the link...mmm..you can order mountain oysters from that website. How do oysters survive in the mountains? Is this some kind of rare delicacy and why would I find them on a site dedicated to the preparation of buffalo meat?Any suggestions from the SJC's wine list would be appreciated.

    A few years ago a small town near me had a buffalo BBQ. A news reporter asked a 5 year old how she liked the BBQ and she remarked that it was good but her's must have come from the middle of the buffalo because it was tough.You are kidding about not knowing about mountain oysters aren't you? Probably one of the best parts. One time we cut 50 head of bull calves and one horse. The dogs got the horse oysters but we told everybody they were cooked with the calf ones. That separated the sissies at the big cook out!

    For a second I thought it said Bizon Roast, and I was excited.I thought to myself "Ooh ooh! I can talk about its unwieldy under-barrel helical mag and it's substandard Russian manufacturing!"Then I realized it was about bison, and I felt a terrible sadness pass over me.*sigh*

    Crap Ids you are in the heart of Mountain Oyster country. I am not 100 miles from you and I bet I have ate a gallon of them in the last month. I like em sliced thick so a guy can get some meat and not all breading.

    Hey guys...just to let you know...I was pullin' your leg. The first time I saw them in a restaurant was back in 1999 when I stopped in a Wyoming restaruant on my way to Missouri from Washington. I didn't care to try them but I might just do that the next time I see them on a menu.I took the roast and divided it into thirds. I am preparing each third in a different manner. Tonight, it's Szechuan Buffalo stir-fry and it's DARN good! Woo hoo!

    First put the meat in a large bowl and prepare to marinade it. The marinade consists of beer, a few cloves of garlic(fresh), and a few bay leaves. Use enough beer to cover the meat and add the garlic minely chopped and leave the bay leaves whole. Let this sit covered in the fridge overnight. Then put in a roasting pan with yer favorite vegetables, I use potatoes, carrots, onions, (I've even used leeks). Also strain out the garlic and bay leaves and arrange these on the meat before adding veges. Cover with foil and put in a 350 degree oven 'till the meat is done to yer taste. Usually once the potatoes are done enough to eat the meat is just right.
