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.

Bringing Back The American Bison

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:

(Serves 8)

• 5-6 lbs bison short ribs
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 tablespoons bison tallow
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 bottles dry red wine
• 8 cups bison bone broth

4. Sauté the crushed garlic for a couple minutes until softened. Then, pour in the red wine and boil, reducing it to approximately 2 cups.
5. Add the ribs back into the pot and pour the bison bone broth over top.

8. Skim excess fat off the top of the cooking liquid and simmer on the stovetop to thicken. Whisk the butter into the sauce and season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve the ribs with the sauce spooned over top. Enjoy!

This baked spaghetti is a meal that everyone in your family will absolutely love, including your kids. People always come back for second helpings of this delicious spaghetti. It’s baked in a casserole dish with layers of noodles and cheese topped with a hearty meat sauce. I like to top mine off with chopped fresh basil. You get all of the tastes in each bite and it’s super cheesy, meaty and flavorful. I absolutely love using ground bison for spaghetti - the slightly sweet flavor matches perfectly with noodles, tomato sauce and Italian herbs.

Hungarian goulash is a richly spiced meat stew. The caraway seeds and paprika create an irresistible flavor. Our bison stew meat becomes so tender and delicious when slow cooked, it’s one of my absolute favorites. I love this goulash because it’s a great way to mix it up a little from your typical stew. It’s warming but not too spicy, satisfying and the leftovers taste even better. It will also make your entire house smell amazing while it’s cooking.

This dish has been around for centuries in Hungary. It originated with herdsman cooking meals for themselves in cauldrons on the plains. It became very popular in America in the early 1900’s thanks to Hungarian immigrants who shared recipes from their homeland. Goulash is the national dish of Hungary and is well known for its incorporation of paprika. This mild and slightly sweet chili powder is what gives goulash its hint of heat. Serve this tasty and nourishing stew with some crusty bread on the side to soak up all the goodness.

If You Like Beef, You’re Going To Love Bison

If you’ve never eaten bison before, you’re probably curious what it tastes like. The simple answer is that if you like the flavor of beef, you’re going to absolutely love bison. It’s very similar, but with a slightly sweeter taste. It’s naturally leaner and more tender. It has no “gamey” flavor whatsoever. Many customers tell us that once they try bison, they’re amazed at how delicious and versatile it is - any recipe that you’d typically use beef for, bison meat will taste great in.

Some people think salads have to be tasteless and boring, but nothing could be further from the truth. Salads can be so full of flavor, satisfying and delicious - all it takes is the right ingredients. I love to mix in plenty of satisfying things like toasted nuts, avocado and of course quality meat. Grilled chicken salads are great and everything, don’t get me wrong - but what could be better than a steak salad? A juicy, flavorful bison ribeye steak, cooked to perfection and sliced into strips on top of the best salad you’ve ever had… if that sounds appealing, you’re going to love this recipe.

Fresh & Exciting Ingredients Keep Salads From Being Boring

Toasted pine nuts are one of my absolute favorite things to put in salads. Serving the salad while the nuts are still warm offers a really wonderful touch. There are few things that smell better than pine nuts as they toast - they’re so fragrant and delicious. You can do this with any nuts - pine nuts are just my personal favorite, and a local classic here in New Mexico. Feel free to improvise with whatever you have in your kitchen! A combination of fresh and crunchy with a touch of sweet, creamy and savory are the makings of an amazing salad. You’ll find yourself making some version of this for easy lunches and dinners because of how great it tastes and how vital and healthy you feel afterwards. You can also mix up the protein with grilled salmon, other types of steak, or chicken.

Gnocchi is one of my favorite meals ever. There’s something so satisfying about the tender, slightly sticky texture of this unique potato pasta. It’s light, fluffy and excellent for soaking up delicious sauce. Dried, store bought gnocchi is easy to find and quick to prepare. I often have a hard time choosing between tomato sauce or pesto sauce, so I’m fond of just stirring some pesto into my tomato sauce and having the best of both worlds. If you’re not into that or don’t have pesto on hand, just leave it out - our ground bison meat in herbed tomato sauce is so tasty regardless. A bit of heavy cream and parmesan cheese give just the right amount of creamy richness, and bison bone broth adds a layer of nourishing, savory flavor.

Delicious, Tender Ground Bison Meat

Bison has a slightly sweeter, deeper flavor than beef. Many customers tell us how surprised they are after trying it for the first time - a lot of people expect it to have a gamey flavor. The fact is, it tastes very similar to beef. It’s my go-to ingredient for just about anything. Our pasture raised beef, elk, wild boar or lamb would also be delicious choices. Serve this delicious gnocchi with some crusty garlic bread on the side for soaking up extra sauce, or a fresh side salad. Dessert and a glass of wine could really make this a dinner to remember. In fact, this would be a great recipe for Valentine’s Day.

It’s very similar, but with a slightly sweeter taste. It’s naturally leaner and more tender. It has no “gamey” flavor whatsoever.

The key to preparing delicious bison is not to overcook it. It always needs to be cooked less than you would typically cook the same cut of beef. When cooked too much, bison will become tough - we always recommend cooking to medium rare for the ultimate flavor and texture. From premium steaks to fajita meat to burgers, any dish you’re used to cooking with beef will be amazing when prepared with bison.

The best part is, you can adjust this entirely to your tastes - in no time, you’ll be known far and wide for your amazing tacos.

I added green chile powder to mine for some extra kick, but if you can’t find that you can substitute jalapeno powder to taste or add in a little salsa verde instead.

Our Bison Primal Burger Blend

This unique product is a specially formulated blend of ground bison meat, heart, liver and kidney. The organs are the most nutrient-rich part of the animal, and in ancient cultures this meat was prized and reserved for royalty. However, a lot of people in modern times have an aversion to eating organ meat. This is typically because they’ve never had it prepared correctly, and haven’t tried well-sourced offal. The primal blend is designed to take the intimidation factor out of consuming organ meat. It tastes essentially just like our ground bison, but with all of the added benefits of these nutritional treasure troves. Eaten plain with no seasoning, you may be able to detect a hint of organ flavor - but with seasonings or toppings, your taste buds will never know the difference.

These tacos are really easy to make and everyone absolutely loves them.

A Delicious Combination Of Flavors

Shredded short rib meat is incredibly versatile and can be used in countless different recipes. For these tacos the short ribs are cooked in an incredibly flavorful sauce consisting of ancho chiles, pomegranate juice, garlic, apple cider vinegar, onion and a touch of coconut sugar with nourishing bison bone broth. I love experimenting with short rib recipes because the options are truly limitless. This would also be great with elk short ribs. If you don’t have pomegranate juice, leaving it out is no big deal, but I love the touch of sweet and tart flavor it adds to these tacos.

• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions:

1. Boil the bone broth and soak the dried chiles for 10-15 minutes. Remove the chiles with a slotted spoon and set the bone broth to cool slightly.
2. Using a blender, purée the soaked chiles, onion, minced garlic, coconut sugar, apple cider vinegar, bison bone broth, pomegranate juice and about a teaspoon each of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
3. Gently pat the short ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously on all sides with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4. Heat the bison tallow in a large cast iron skillet until shimmering. Sear the short ribs, working in batches as necessary to create a flavorful brown crust on all sides. Set the seared ribs aside.
5. Add the ribs to your Instant Pot and pour in the prepared sauce. The ribs should be about halfway submerged (add more bone broth if necessary).
6. Cook for 2 ½ hours on the high pressure setting. The ribs should be fork tender. If they’re not, continue to cook at 30 minute intervals until they reach desired doneness.
7. When the ribs have finished cooking, let them cool enough to handle. Remove ribs from the pot and shred the meat off of the bones, putting the shredded meat back into the cooking sauce. Stir to combine. Season with more sea salt and freshly ground black pepper if desired.
8. Warm the tortillas and serve with plenty of toppings. Enjoy!

Budae jjigae is a traditional Korean stew that literally translates to “army stew”. The name comes from the stew that would be created during the Korean war from whatever food supplies were available. For this reason, it was often made with hot dogs, SPAM, instant noodles, and whatever other ingredients were accessible at the time. For this version, I decided to use our free range, grass fed bison hot dogs and duck bacon. If you have an Asian supermarket nearby, you’ll be able to find the Korean rice cakes, gochujang and gochugaru without a problem.

If necessary, the gochujang can be substituted by mixing some miso paste and sweet chili sauce with a dash of coconut sugar. The Korean rice cakes could be substituted with polenta - simply cut into slices and quickly sear - or leave them out entirely. The nature of this dish is to be thrown together with what’s on hand. Some other common ingredients for budae jjigae are canned baked beans, American cheese slices and whatever vegetables are in season.

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.

To Eat Duck Bacon Or Boar Bacon? That Is The Question

Duck bacon is actually meat cut from the breast of the duck where there is a large amount of fat. Nonetheless, it’s incredibly similar in texture and flavor to more familiar varieties of bacon. Our ducks are raised in quiet, spacious barns on a small group of farms in rural Indiana. They are often raised by Mennonite or Amish farmers, and are lovingly cared for on family farms. They are White Pekin ducks, bred for their tender, mild flavored meat that is preferred by most people with an Americanized palette. This duck meat easily adapts to a wide range of flavor profiles and cuisines. As for whether our duck bacon or our wild boar bacon is better, you’ll have to decide for yourself - our team hasn’t yet been able to choose a clear winner out of these two delicious options.

Ingredients:

For the broth:

• 1 tablespoon gochujang paste
• 1 tablespoon gochugaru
• 1 tablespoon anchovy paste
• 5 cloves of garlic, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon rice wine
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
• 3 cups bison bone broth

• ¼ cup Korean rice cakes (tteok), sliced
• 1 package instant ramen noodles (noodles only)
• Chopped scallions

Instructions:

Keema matar is a “dry” curry of Pakistani origin, richly spiced with tender green peas. It’s bursting with all the flavor of curry spices, but without the added liquid that’s typically found in most curries we eat in America. You can easily use garam masala powder in lieu of the whole spices, but if you can use the whole cloves, peppercorns and cinnamon stick it really adds a depth of flavor to the dish that cannot be achieved otherwise. Activating the spices in the oil helps to add layers of flavor to the curry. If you have ghee, it would be a delicious alternative to the bison tallow. Otherwise any cooking oil will work just fine. I decided to use our bison primal blend for this dish. It bestows amazing health benefits with all the great taste of our best selling ground bison.

Our Bison Primal Burger Blend

This unique product is a specially formulated blend of ground bison, heart, liver and kidney. The organs are the most nutrient-rich part of the animal, and in ancient cultures this meat was prized and reserved for royalty. However, a lot of people in modern times have an aversion to eating organ meat. This is typically because they’ve never had it prepared correctly, and haven’t tried well-sourced offal. The Primal Blend is designed to take the intimidation factor out of consuming organ meat. It tastes just like our ground bison, but with all of the added benefits of these nutritional treasure troves.

So often you don’t find recipes for anything other than smoked brisket with barbecue sauce. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love to eat brisket prepared this way. But it’s always nice to mix it up, and I like the way that this brisket tastes more seasonal for the colder months. People often ask us how to prepare briskets without smoking them. You can prepare this flavorful cut of meat the same way you would pretty much any other slow cook item. This recipe simply uses a dutch oven on the stove top. You could also prepare it in the oven, Instant Pot, or crock pot.

Brisket Will Be Your New Favorite Cut Of Meat

The apple cider vinegar and bone broth give the brisket amazing flavor. With the stone ground mustard sauce drizzled over top, this is really a top notch way to enjoy bison brisket. I absolutely love the flavor of mustard. It’s important to choose a really good quality one, especially for something like this where it will be the main component of a sauce. This recipe could easily be halved, too. A great trick is to let the bison brisket partially thaw, just enough that you are able to cut it without too much trouble. Simply refreeze the other half of it for later use.

Ingredients:

• 1 bison brisket, sliced in half
• 2 tablespoons bison tallow
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 large yellow onions, chopped
• ½ cup apple cider vinegar
• 3 cups bison bone broth
• 1 cup stone ground mustard
• ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Also Read: British Bangers And Mash Made With Our Bison Sausage

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Let the brisket sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking. Slice the brisket in half so that each piece can fit into the dutch oven to sear.
2. Heat the bison tallow in the dutch oven over medium heat. When hot, sear the brisket on all sides. Add more tallow to the pot as necessary. Season the seared brisket generously on all sides with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set the meat aside.
3. Cook the chopped onions in the dutch oven until tender. Add the brisket back into the pot, facing the fatty side up. Pour in the apple cider vinegar and bone broth. Bring to a boil, increasing the heat if necessary. Reduce the heat and simmer for approximately 3-4 hours, or until the meat is so tender it’s falling apart.
4. Remove the brisket from the pot and cover to keep warm.
5. To make the sauce, skim any excess fat off the top of the cooking liquid from the dutch oven. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and continue to cook until the liquid has thickened considerably. While the liquid is reducing, use a fork to whisk together the stone ground mustard and chopped fresh parsley. Add ¼ cup of the thickened liquid to the mixture and stir to combine.
6. To serve, slice the brisket into thin slices against the grain. Spoon the thickened cooking liquid over the top, and serve with a generous drizzle of the stone ground mustard sauce.

It’s always amazing to me how far you can see in Northern New Mexico. On our ranch outside of Las Vegas (New Mexico, not Nevada) you’ll be struck by the rugged outline of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in the distance and the expansive blue skies stretching into infinity. The snow capped peaks on the horizon coexist peacefully beside the bright New Mexican sun. The ranch has a large valley running through it, and the view from above offers an aerial perspective of the Gallinas River. At this time of year, the river is often frozen and edged with snow. Large boulders dot the river banks and some of the many caves on the property can be seen from this elevated vantage point.

The First Bison To Roam In Over 100 Years

There’s 5,000 acres of land here for bison to roam freely. Many people are surprised at how soft and mineral rich the soil is, as well as the green vegetation. Although much of New Mexico is desert, mountainous regions at higher elevations enjoy a completely different climate. The landscape is dotted with small waterfalls and springs, and everything from elk to cougars call this land home. There were once as many as 60 million bison roaming American soil. They could be found across the majority of the country, even venturing north into Canada and south into Mexico. During colonial times, their population was decimated to less than 1,000. The last wild bison in New Mexico were hunted and killed over 100 years ago, in the very same area that our ranch is on.

As you enter the land, there’s an expanse of trees with a distinct gap running through the middle. This gap lent itself perfectly to a tactic used by Native American hunters to take down buffalo (a nickname now synonymous with the word bison in America). American buffalo are enormous, powerful animals and can be extremely dangerous. Smart strategies that worked in harmony with the lay of the land enabled hunters to kill buffalos while lessening the threat of casualties among their own kind. By surprising a herd of buffalo and guiding them into the thick area of trees, the huge animals would be forced through the gap, making an easy target for waiting hunters on the other side. This unique feature of the land resulted in the name Buffalo Gap.

The Unique Mystery That Is New Mexico

There are various caves on the land, as well as a mysterious and ancient adobe structure. It’s the sort of place that lets your imagination run wild with what has occurred across the vast stretches of time and space. It’s full of life and a fierce beauty that is completely unique to New Mexico. When I think of the labeling requirements for “free range” meat in stores in comparison to what life is like for bison on our ranch, it seems to me that it shouldn’t even be considered the same food, much less the same quality.

American Bison Are A Lost Keystone Species

When we released a herd of buffalo onto this land, they were the first in over a century to roam the Buffalo Gap area. It was a joyful experience for our entire team to see the buffalo gallop into the vast expanse, eventually disappearing into the distance. Buffalo were once an integral part of American ecosystems. Their hooves are shaped in a particular way that actually irrigates and enhances the soil health of the land they graze. Their rough fur helps to catch seeds and pollinate plants, and grazing animals, especially in such vast numbers, help to trap carbon in the soil where it belongs.

There’s a sense of incredible freedom on land like this, and the return of a keystone species such as the American bison promises renewal in ways we probably can’t even imagine. When I spend time at our ranch, I experience an incredible feeling of connectedness and joy that comes from somewhere deep within. They say that New Mexico is the Land of Enchantment. It’s easy to see why when you find yourself in untouched natural beauty such as this. Once you’ve seen a sunset here, you’ll find yourself never wanting to leave.

Increasing demand for bison meat means more herds of bison. This helps to increase genetic diversity - something that is desperately needed, although the species demonstrated incredible resilience when forced through an evolutionary bottleneck. There are currently around half a million bison in the United States. At Beck & Bulow, it’s a goal of ours to see their numbers increase to at least one million in our lifetime.
