Guest guest Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I started eating meat when I started SCD about 16 months ago, and I'm still learning how to cook it. I've been buying bison from Lindner Bison out of Valencia, CA, and while the price seems reasonable and I totally believe the " healthier than beef " bit, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I like the flavor just fine, but my bison is so tough. I know that for bison (and for grass-fed beef, which I eat a lot of), that it shouldn't be cooked very long because the relatively low fat content will just cause it to be tough, so I've been trying not to but my meat-cooking expertise is relatively low. I don't buy the uber-expensive cuts of bison, but the cuts I do purchase are much tougher than similar cuts of grass-fed. Like tonight, I cooked up three roughly half-inch steaks off of a round roast on high for about a minute a side and they're still tough!! It's like I chew and I chew and I still end up spitting out a wad of meat too tough to break down. I did note that slicing the raw steaks was relatively tough, which I don't know with beef. Maybe the bison I get isn't that great? Does anyone have any thoughts or advice? Where does everyone else get their bison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
