Summer is the perfect time to fire up the grill, gather your friends, and enjoy some bold, mouth watering flavours. If you haven’t tried bison on the BBQ, you’re missing out on one of the leanest, most flavourful meats available.
At True Grit Buffalo Ranch, we raise our bison naturally and humanely, producing premium cuts that are perfect for the grill. Whether you’re a backyard BBQ veteran or just getting started, here’s how to get the most out of your bison this summer.
Bison is naturally lean, high in protein, and rich in essential nutrients like iron and omega-3s. Compared to beef, it has:
Less fat and cholesterol
More intense, slightly sweet flavour
Fewer calories per serving
This means you get big flavour without the heaviness—perfect for hot summer evenings.
Here are our favourite BBQ-ready cuts from the ranch:
Tender, juicy, and packed with flavour. Ideal for a special summer dinner.
Tip: Cook to medium-rare for best results—bison cooks faster than beef!
Perfect for lean, flavourful burgers with a slightly sweet, beefy taste.
Tip: Add a bit of olive oil or an egg to keep burgers moist, and avoid overcooking.
Rich and indulgent. These shine when slow-grilled or smoked.
Tip: Marinate overnight and cook low and slow for fall-off-the-bone texture.
A leaner option that still delivers great taste. Great for slicing over salad or tacos.
Tip: Let it rest after grilling and slice thin against the grain.
Here’s an easy summer favourite you can make with True Grit ground bison:
Ingredients:
1 lb ground bison
1 egg (optional, for moisture)
Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
Your favourite burger toppings
Instructions:
Gently mix the ground bison, egg, and seasonings. Don’t overwork it.
Form into 3–4 patties.
Grill over medium heat for about 4–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
Let rest a few min
Lower heat is better – Because bison is leaner than beef, it can dry out quickly over high heat. Medium or indirect heat is ideal.
Use a meat thermometer – Aim for 130–135°F for medium-rare. Overcooked bison loses tenderness.
Let it rest – Always rest grilled bison for a few minutes before slicing. This keeps the juices locked in.

Whether you’re prepping for a weekend cookout or just want to eat better this summer, we’ve got you covered with high-quality, local bison meat you can feel good about.
At True Grit Buffalo Ranch, we believe the difference starts long before bison reaches your plate. When you choose ranch-raised bison, you are choosing meat that reflects how the animals were raised, how the product was handled, and where it came from. That is a big part of why more Alberta families are looking beyond store-bought meat and choosing local bison instead.
When it comes to choosing high-quality meat, how the animal is raised matters just as much as the final cut on your plate. Bison raised in a calm, natural environment produce meat that is not only more flavourful but also more consistent in quality. That is why many people who care about where their food comes from are turning to bison raised with low-stress practices.
At True Grit Buffalo Ranch, the focus is on raising bison in a way that prioritizes animal well-being, natural grazing, and careful handling. The result is premium bison meat that delivers exceptional taste and quality for families across Alberta.
Spring grilling season is here, and if you want to level up your BBQ this year, bison should be at the top of your list. It’s lean, flavourful, and cooks beautifully over an open flame when handled properly.
With True Grit Buffalo Ranch, you can order premium ranch-raised bison online with delivery to Edmonton and surrounding areas, Red Deer, and Calgary. That means high-quality local protein delivered straight to your door, ready for the grill.
