Quick, hearty meals made with Alberta-raised bison
Let’s face it—weeknights can get hectic. Between work, school, and everything in between, dinner needs to be quick, satisfying, and full of flavour. Luckily, bison checks all the boxes.
At True Grit Buffalo Ranch, we raise grass-fed, hormone-free bison right here in Alberta. Our locally sourced meat is perfect for wholesome, weeknight meals that don’t skimp on taste or nutrition. Whether you’re new to bison or already a fan, these five easy recipes will help you get supper on the table in no time.
Ready in: 20 minutes
Swap out ground beef for ground bison and take your taco night to the next level. Brown the bison with taco seasoning, onion, and a splash of lime juice. Serve in warm corn tortillas with your favourite toppings: shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, avocado, and sour cream.
Why we love it: Lean, flavourful, and perfect for the whole family.
Ready in: 25 minutes
Slice bison steak thin and stir-fry it with colourful veggies like bell peppers, snap peas, and carrots. Add a quick homemade sauce (soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a drizzle of honey), and serve over rice or noodles.
Why we love it: High in protein, packed with vegetables, and ideal for using up ingredients in the fridge.
Ready in: 30 minutes
Mix ground bison with breadcrumbs, garlic, herbs, and a bit of parmesan. Bake in the oven or cook in a skillet, then serve with marinara sauce and pasta—or go low-carb and plate them with roasted veggies or spaghetti squash.
Why we love it: Great for meal prep and freezer-friendly!
Ready in: 30–40 minutes (or let it simmer longer for extra depth)
A hearty chilli is a Canadian classic—and bison adds a rich, savoury flavour without the extra fat. Sauté ground bison with onion and garlic, then add canned tomatoes, kidney beans, chilli powder, and cumin. Let it simmer and top with cheese, green onion, or a dollop of Greek yoghurt.
Why we love it: Comfort food that’s clean and nutritious.
Ready in: 15–20 minutes
Bison burgers cook quickly, so they’re perfect for weeknights. Keep it simple—season with salt, pepper, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Grill or pan-fry, and serve on a toasted bun with your favourite toppings.
Pro tip: Because bison is leaner than beef, avoid overcooking—medium-rare to medium is best.
Why we love it: Juicy, flavourful, and done in under 20 minutes.
You’ll find a variety of premium bison cuts and ground bison in our online shop, with delivery available in Edmonton and surrounding areas, as well as Red Deer and Calgary. Stock your freezer and take the guesswork out of weeknight meals—your body (and your taste buds) will thank you.
