Looking to take your next BBQ to the next level? Bison meat is a lean, flavourful, and nutritious alternative to beef that’s perfect for summer grilling. At True Grit Buffalo Ranch, we raise high-quality bison and deliver fresh cuts to Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer, and surrounding areas — making it easy to bring a taste of the ranch to your backyard.
Why Choose Bison for Your BBQ?
Bison is naturally leaner than beef, packed with protein, and has a rich, slightly sweet flavour that stands out on the grill. Its lower fat content means it cooks quickly and benefits from careful seasoning, making it ideal for burgers, steaks, and kabobs.
Tips for Grilling Bison
Keep it Medium-Rare – Overcooking can dry out bison. Aim for an internal temperature of 130–135°F for steaks.
Marinate Tougher Cuts – For roasts or thicker steaks, a simple marinade adds flavour and tenderness.
Preheat Your Grill – High heat is key for searing and locking in juices.
Rest Before Serving – Let your meat rest for 5–10 minutes to retain moisture and flavour.
