MAN MEAT!!!! RAWRRRR!!!!

If the park was where the deer and the antelope play, the bison bully's em off the jungle gym and swings.



A few days ago my cousin and I was lazing around on the couch with our trusty mutt (see below)
cruising around the various channels that cable has to offer... after flipping through the ridiculous amount of home channels ( which we are avid fans of btw) we stopped off at one of the cooking channels that was showcasing a restaurant that served non-traditional meats. Traditional meats being the usual beef, pork, lamb, fish, etc. and non- traditional would be, bison, ostrich, emu, yak, and anything else that walks or crawls on land that you prolly wouldn't eat in our part of the world. Our stirring minds listening to the crowds reactions to the taste of the non-traditional meats slowly started to light the light bulb in our head to a brightness that would rival the sun. Which once again proves the saying true, great minds think alike. Thus placed us on our decision to experiment with this new found venture of meat in our mouths... no homo. Since there's no ostrich or emu farms readily available around our town that serves slabs of birdasarus rex, we got the next best thing at our local H-E-B. Bison. Moo bitch. Moo.




The sign indicated that this certain cut of meat is best served lightly pan fried and so we did what was suggested for our venture.

At about $7 a pound the meat prior to cooking was as deep a red as the squares on our plates lightly marbled with fat, which once again shows just how lean this meat is. I mean, even the strips of fat on the meat felt like it had muscles. The meat isn't really for everyone but with the right seasoning and some good ol' A1 it was the meal of kings. In the end a serving of rice and mixed veggies with about 3 pieces of the steaks we had that measured around 2-3 inches around at 1/2 an inch thick ( we don't have a scale at home) and we had the -itis sitting in and making us throwing in the towel. Yal should really try this stuff, it's not for everyday but it is a nice change from steaks we usually cook up. Next time we plan to try grilling these bad boys, so expect a round 2 o mighty bison... you will be pwnd. oh yes... you will be pwnd.
