Sancochado Traditional South American Meat Soup Recipe
Sancochado is a traditional Peruvian soup and can be cooked with many different types of meat. In fact, when it first rose in popularity it was typically cooked with as many as twelve different meats at one time. I decided to use our bison chuck roast, which is one of my all time favorite cuts of meat to cook with.

Kibbeh Nayyeh With Bison: Lebanese Spiced Raw Meat Dish
Middle Eastern food has always been one of my absolute favorite things to eat. The flavors are amazing and I always feel great afterwards. Kibbeh nayyeh is said to have been around since biblical times. If you’re interested in trying out eating meat raw for the first time, this is a great way to do it (tartare and carpaccio are delicious as well). Some claim that eating good quality raw meat has great health benefits. Kibbeh nayyeh is an experience to be savored, an intersection of ancient and modern that has been around for millenia yet has an upscale appeal in current times.

When making raw meat dishes like kibbeh nayyeh, it’s always imperative to use high quality, pasture raised meat that’s been kept frozen for 14 days. This ensures that the meat is free of bacteria. For kibbeh nayyeh, you can use ground bison meat or lean steaks like filet mignon. If you use another cut that has more fat, you’ll want to trim that off first. The fresh herbs really make a difference in the flavor, so be sure to use fresh rather than dried. The Lebanese seven spice blend, also known as baharat, can be found in some international or gourmet grocery stores. It’s also really simple to make at home. Simply mix one tablespoon each of allspice, coriander and cinnamon with one and a half tablespoons each of ground cloves, cumin and nutmeg. The extra is nice to have on hand for other cooking.

Free Range Bison, Raised The Way Nature Intended
Our bison live free range on 20,000 beautiful acres here in New Mexico, or roam freely on our carefully selected partner ranches. They are pasture raised and never administered any amount of hormones, steroids or antibiotics. These are powerful, strong animals that live essentially wild with minimal handling. There were once 60 million bison roaming North America, and we hope to see their numbers increase back to even 1 million during our lifetime. By increasing the demand for ethically sourced bison meat, we can help to bolster their population. The more people that want to purchase this nourishing and nutrient dense meat, the more farmers will be encouraged to raise bison. This directly helps to increase the number of herds which assists in providing genetic diversity for the population.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb bison meat, kept frozen for 14 days from the time of butchering
- 1 cup finely ground bulgur wheat
- 1 shallot, minced
- ⅓ large green bell pepper,
- 15 fresh mint leaves
- 10 fresh marjoram leaves
- ½ teaspoon Lebanese 7 spice
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅔ teaspoon sea salt
- Good quality extra virgin olive oil
- Pita bread, chopped fresh mint leaves and toasted pine nuts for serving

Instructions:
- Thaw the frozen bison meat for about an hour and a half in the refrigerator. At this point, it should be about halfway thawed.
- Add the meat to a food processor along with the ground cinnamon and 5 ice cubes. Pulse the meat until it is ground very fine. Check that the meat is not becoming warm in between each pulse - if necessary, add more ice cubes to ensure that it stays cold. Place the meat in the refrigerator until you’re ready to mix with the other ingredients.
- Soak the bulgur in ice water for about 10 minutes, stirring a couple times. Drain into a strainer and press with a cheesecloth to press out as much water as possible. Set aside.
- Add the bell pepper, minced shallot, fresh herbs, sea salt, cayenne and Lebanese 7 spice to the food processor. Combine until finely chopped.
- Add the chilled meat to a large mixing bowl. Mix in the soaked bulgur wheat along with the mixture from the food processor. Use your hands to combine, taking a few minutes to ensure that everything is thoroughly and evenly incorporated.
- Transfer the kibbeh nayyeh to a medium sized serving dish and press it down into a mound or patty. Use a small knife to create a diamond shaped grid on top, or any other design you prefer.
- Garnish the kibbeh nayyeh with a drizzle of olive oil, chopped mint and toasted pine nuts. Enjoy immediately with warm pita bread.

Lebanese Kibbeh With Bison, Pine Nuts And Fragrant Spices
Kibbeh is a traditional Lebanese food that consists of a dough made from finely ground spiced meat and bulgur wheat. The filling inside is made of onion, meat, fragrant toasted pine nuts and spices. The kibbeh are deep fried to a perfect golden brown and served with tahini or plain yogurt on the side. It’s the national dish of Lebanon and once you try it, you’ll understand why. Kibbeh is irresistibly spiced with incredible savory flavor, a light crunch on the outside and satisfying meaty filling. The toasted pine nuts (one of my favorite smells on earth, by the way) truly take the flavor to a whole new level. If you don’t have pine nuts, I’d suggest simply skipping them rather than replacing with a different nut. Your kibbeh will still be delicious. Kibbeh is most often made with beef or lamb. I decided to use ground bison but any of our ground meats would be great!

How To Make Kibbeh With Pasture Raised Bison?
Instructions:
- Wrap a metal strainer with a cheesecloth and place inside a bowl (you can find cheesecloth at most grocery stores). A thin, clean kitchen towel will also do the trick. Add the bulgur into the prepared strainer and cover with water. Soak for approximately 20 minutes, then use the cheesecloth to squeeze out as much water as possible. Set the bulgur aside.
- To make the kibbeh dough, add the quartered onion, 1 ½ pounds ground bison, allspice, coriander, cinnamon, fresh mint and a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to a food processor. Use the food processor until the meat is ground very fine. Then, empty the contents of the food processor into a large mixing bowl. Add the bulgur wheat to the bowl and use your hands to mix just until combined. Cover and store in the refrigerator to chill (you’ll want the dough to be very cold when working with it later).
- To make the filling, heat the tablespoon of bison tallow in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add in the chopped onion and cook, stirring frequently for approximately 5 minutes, then add in the ½ pound ground bison. Cook just until the meat is browned. Add in the allspice, cinnamon and toasted pine nuts. Season as desired with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and stir. Set the filling aside so that it can cool enough to handle with your hands.
- To stuff the kibbeh, prepare your workstation. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill a small bowl with water to use for dampening your hands while stuffing the kibbeh. Take the chilled kibbeh dough out of the refrigerator. With damp hands, take about 2 tablespoons of dough and form a flat circle. Make a nest in the center of the dough for the filling. Add about a tablespoon of filling and then seal the dough all the way around, creating a football shaped finished product. As you finish stuffing the kibbeh, set them on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process until you’ve stuffed all the kibbeh.
- Chill the kibbeh for a minimum of one hour.
- Fry the kibbeh. Heat bison tallow or other oil for frying (I like safflower oil) in a deep skillet. When it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit (either use a thermometer or aim for oil that is gently bubbling), fry the kibbeh. Work in batches, cooking each batch on all sides for a total of about five minutes. Remove the fried kibbeh from the skillet using a slotted spoon or tongs. Set them on a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Serve and enjoy! Add tahini sauce or plain yogurt on the side if desired.
British Toad-In-The-Hole With Hickory Smoked Bison Sausage
If you grew up in America, you might be familiar with the version of toad-in-the-hole involving frying an egg in a circular cut out in the middle of a piece of toast. That’s a delicious breakfast for sure, but today our focus is the British rendition of toad-in-the-hole. Which is altogether different. If you’ve never had Yorkshire pudding before, you’re in for a treat. It’s a fluffy, light bread-like creation that was practically made for soaking up gravy. Toad-in-the-hole involves making a delightful Yorkshire pudding with golden brown sausages nestled inside, topped off with a savory onion gravy. If there’s one thing the Brits really know how to do right when it comes to food, it’s warming, comforting dinners that leave you feeling completely satisfied. Naturally, I used our bison hickory smoked sausages for this recipe - one of my all time favorite items.

Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease an 8x10 or 9x9 baking dish and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and mustard powder. Add the eggs and milk, whisking continuously until you have a super smooth, light consistency. Set aside for 30 minutes (this step is essential).
- Grease the bison sausages with bison tallow using your hands to warm and spread the tallow. Place the sausages in the greased baking pan and brown them in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Remove the casserole dish from the oven. Turn up the oven temperature to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Quickly without letting the casserole dish cool off, pour the Yorkshire pudding batter over the sausages. Sprinkle the thyme and rosemary over the top.
- Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Continue to bake for about 10 more minutes. The Yorkshire pudding should be cooked all the way through.
- Meanwhile, make the onion gravy. Melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant. Add in the flour and apple cider vinegar, stirring to combine. After about a minute, pour in the bison bone broth. Slightly increase the heat and vigorously whisk until the gravy thickens up. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 more minutes, adding sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve the toad-in-the-hole immediately with onion gravy generously spooned over top. Enjoy!

Recipe: Korean Bibimbap Bowls With Bison Sirloin Steak
Lately, I’ve been loving anything with super thin slices of sirloin steak. They cook so quickly and are so tender, it makes meals really easy and delicious. These slices of bison sirloin practically melt in your mouth. The secret to cutting steak into very thin slices is to do it with a sharp knife while the meat is still partially frozen. These bowls have all of the amazing Korean flavors that you’re looking for. Better yet, bibimbap bowls easily stand alone as a complete meal with the perfect combination of rice, vegetables, steak, egg, delicious seasonings, garnishes and gochujang sauce. I love putting kimchi on mine, and if you like it I definitely recommend having some for these bowls. Toasted sesame oil offers an extra layer of flavor but if all you have is untoasted sesame oil, it’ll work just fine.

- While the rice is cooking, heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for a couple minutes in the dry skillet to allow some of the moisture to evaporate.

When the oil is hot, add in the vegetables and minced garlic. Season with sea salt and cook until the vegetables are a light golden brown, adding more oil as necessary. Set the cooked vegetables aside and cover to keep warm.

Top Sirloin Steak Bites With Rosemary Garlic Butter
This easy style of garlic butter steak bites has been really trendy the past few months, and I’m so glad I decided to give them a try. I mean, it’s not really surprising that bite sized steak with tons of delicious garlic butter poured over top is so good - no wonder these have become so popular! I added some fresh rosemary into the butter as well and I have to say it turned out wonderfully. Since the steak is cut into bite sized pieces, it cooks even more quickly than a regular steak. They also have the added advantage of more surface area to soak up as much garlic butter as possible. Chopped parsley as a garnish adds a nice dash of color and freshness. These steak bites are so tasty, you’ll be amazed at how quickly they get eaten. Once you have one, it’s nearly impossible to stop!

Quality Meat + Quality Butter = Heaven
I used Bison top sirloin steak, but you could use ribeye or a strip steak or whatever you prefer. Another important ingredient is the butter. I can’t recommend enough to use good quality butter that’s pasture raised. It’s not only because it’s humane and good for the environment, but pasture raised butter tastes so much better than anything else. It makes a huge difference in cooking and especially for something like this where butter is one of the main ingredients. Serve these for a casual dinner that everyone will love. They’re delicious on their own, on top of rice or quinoa, over mashed potatoes, alongside sautéed vegetables, you name it. They go with anything and will be your new go-to recipe for those nights when you need something quick to prepare yet satisfying and flavorful.

Shredded Slow Cooked Bison Roast For Meal Prepping
There’s nothing better than having a bunch of delicious, slow-cooked shredded meat ready for the week to turn into tacos, sandwiches, and anything else you can think of. It’s a great way to meal prep. I’m not enough of a planner to meal prep something specific for every day of the week, but having some prepared meat like this helps me throw things together without much preparation a lot more easily on nights when I’m short on time. Cooking a whole roast and shredding it for later use can create multiple tasty and nourishing meals for the whole family throughout the week. All it takes is a high quality chuck roast - I love our bison roasts - and a slow cooker or Instant Pot. If you don’t have one of those, not to worry - you could totally slow cook this in the oven instead.

A Weeknight Dinner Game Changer
The secret is to slow cook the roast to tender, falling apart perfection. That, and a delicious marinade. I just used a simple one - coconut sugar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and smashed garlic. And bone broth if you have it on hand. It’s the perfect combination of sweet, savory, acidic and garlicky to create shredded bison meat that nobody can get enough of. It’s also a really versatile marinade for meat that will go well with a lot of different recipes. Use it for tacos, on top of rice, in a quinoa bowl with veggies, over noodles… the options are endless. It makes it so quick and effortless to throw a meal together, you might wonder how you ever survived without cooking a roast for the week. The meat just gets more tender and flavorful over time, and you’ll have no problem using it all up before the week is over. I think I could easily go through one of these roasts in a week all by myself.

Tender And Flavorful Oklahoma Onion Burgers Recipe
They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and that’s exactly how the Oklahoma onion burger came to be. If you love golden, crispy onions (I know I do), you’ll absolutely love this flavorful burger. During the Depression Era in America, onions were really cheap but meat was expensive. Including a generous pile of onions mashed into the burger patty helped the meat to stretch further, feeding more mouths during tough times. The beautiful thing is that the fried onions on top are incredibly delicious. They add tons of texture and flavor that make this burger a favorite for many.

The Best Ground Meats Make The Best Burgers
We always recommend cooking bison burgers to medium or medium rare. They really do taste the best this way, and it’s because bison meat has lower fat content than beef. It’s naturally tender and flavorful when cooked properly, but can dry out when overcooked. Simply remember that this meat cooks more quickly than beef, and your burgers will turn out delicious and juicy. I’m also a big fan of combining two of our ground meats to make burgers. I’m pretty sure I’ve tried every possible combination of our ground bison, elk, wild boar, lamb, and beef to make burgers with. You really can’t go wrong. Bison and elk cook very similarly as they’re both pretty lean, while the boar, lamb and beef have more fat. Bison burgers are my personal favorite because I love the slightly sweet flavor of the meat. If you’ve never tried it before, it tastes very similar to beef without any gaminess at all.

Cheese Stuffed “Juicy Lucy” Bison Burger From Minnesota
Bison burgers are definitely my favorite type of burger, hands down. A bison burger cooked to medium rare is my version of perfection. We always recommend cooking bison less than you would beef. Because of the lower fat content, it cooks more quickly. It truly tastes best when cooked less. We always recommend cooking bison to medium rare or medium at the most for best flavor and texture. The meat is naturally tender, juicy and flavorful. What could make a typical bison burger even better? Enter the Juicy Lucy. This burger is an American classic and involves stuffing the patty full of melty, delicious cheese. The cheese becomes perfectly melted as it gets nice and hot cooking in the middle of the burger. It also has the effect of keeping the meat even more juicy and tender.

A Famous Style Of Burger From Minnesota
The Juicy Lucy originated in Minneapolis, Minnesota, sometime around the 1950’s or possibly earlier. It’s said that the name comes from a customer who, upon biting into one, exclaimed “Wow, now that’s a juicy lucy!” There’s a fierce competition between two bars who both claim to have invented the cheese-stuffed burger. One bar only offers it with American cheese, while the other provides a few different options to choose from. I decided to use provolone cheese - just make sure that whichever cheese you use is one that gets nice and melty. After all, that’s the whole point. Make sure to use high quality buns - my favorite are brioche - and pile high with all of your favorite toppings and condiments. Perfect for a casual lunch or dinner, serve these burgers with chips, salad, pickles, or any of your other favorite sides.

Bringing The Bison Population Back To America
Our bison live free range on 10,000 beautiful acres here in New Mexico, or roam freely on our carefully selected partner ranches. They are pasture raised and never administered any amount of hormones, steroids or antibiotics. These are powerful, strong animals that live essentially wild with minimal handling. There were once 60 million bison roaming North America, and we hope to see their numbers increase back to even 1 million during our lifetime. By increasing the demand for ethically sourced bison meat, we can help to bolster their population. The more people that want to purchase this nourishing and nutrient dense meat, the more farmers will be encouraged to raise bison. This directly helps to increase the number of herds which assists in providing genetic diversity for the population.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs ground bison
- 2 tablespoons bison tallow + more as needed
- 12 slices provolone cheese
- Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 6 brioche buns
- Your favorite toppings and condiments

Instructions:
- Make sure the ground bison is thawed completely. Let it sit out at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes before cooking.
- Split the ground bison into six equal parts. Divide each section into two patties. Make them thin, with one slightly smaller than the other.
- Fold up the slices of provolone. Place 2 slices on top of each larger patty. Cover the cheese completely with the smaller patties and press the edges firmly together to seal.
- Heat the bison tallow in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers for about 4 minutes on each side, or to your preferred doneness. We always recommend cooking bison less rather than more. The cheese should be melted all the way through.
- Let the burgers rest for at least five minutes before serving. Take caution - the cheese gets really hot! Assemble on brioche buns, piled high with desired toppings and condiments. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Fall Off The Bone Red Wine Braised Bison Short Ribs
I absolutely love short ribs, and I know I’m not alone in this. This cut of meat is among the most popular because of its versatility, delicious flavor and incredibly tender texture when cooked low and slow. Short ribs are a popular choice for smoking - and I’m also fond of cooking them in an Instant Pot - but a lesser known method is to slowly braise them in the oven. This recipe is especially nice for the colder months, as the oven makes more sense than the smoker when it’s snowing outside, and the red wine gives a rich flavor that is perfect for winter.

Bison Short Ribs Are Versatile & Delicious
Short ribs have satisfying and meaty flavor that is partially thanks to the bone being intact. Because of the location of this cut on the animal, they have a marbled fat content like a ribeye steak with the rich taste of a chuck roast. What could be better? These ribs are the perfect main course to serve alongside mashed potatoes or macaroni and cheese. This recipe makes a large amount, but you can easily cook a half portion if you desire. Just partially thaw the short ribs enough to remove half to cook, seal the remaining half and refreeze. That being said, leftover short ribs are incredibly delicious and reheat beautifully in the oven. They’re also really versatile and can be used in tacos, sandwiches, on top of macaroni and cheese, and so much more.
