Bison (Buffalo) Flat Iron Steaks
1 box (approx. 10lbs)

Cut from the chuck or shoulder of the bison, the flat iron steak is a previously under-appreciated cut that is gaining in popularity due to its affordability. Its flavor is compatible with a wide variety of marinades making it a versatile addition to any meal. Marinated and cooked properly, this steak may not be as fancy as a bison ribeye or a bison tenderloin steak, but it certainly won’t disappoint in terms of flavor.

Apart from its rich meaty taste, Bison meat’s primary benefits are its low fat content (less than a third as much fat as similar cuts of beef), lower cholesterol (less than skinless chicken) and high amount of iron. This makes it an ideal red meat choice for those concerned about eating heart healthy food.

Applications: Fill a baking dish or heavy duty plastic bag with your marinade. While almost any marinade will work, an acidic element (dry red wine, vinegar, citrus juice) will not only help wake up your taste buds but also tenderize the meat. Pairing red wine with garlic, thyme, and dry mustard powder will give your steak a sour, spicy bite. Using a combination of mirin, soy sauce and rice-wine vinegar will take your meal in a more Asian direction. Place your bison flat iron steak into the vessel, trying to make sure it is in contact with the marinade on all sides. Cover the dish or seal the bag and place in the bottom of your fridge (in order to minimize cross-contamination in case of leaks) for several hours.

After marinating, grill or pan-roast the steak with high-heat. Before serving, allow the bison meat to rest for a few minutes and then slice against the grain to serve.
