Bison Steak

Bison steak is a cut of meat from the bison, a large mammal native to North America. Bison meat is typically leaner than beef and has a slightly sweeter, richer flavor. It is prepared similarly to beef, often grilled, roasted, or pan-seared.

Bison meat is primarily used as a protein source in various dishes, similar to beef. It is commonly found in steaks, roasts, burgers, and ground meat products. Manufacturers may use it in specialty meat products like jerky or sausages for its distinct flavor and leanness.

Bison meat is a source of protein, iron, and B vitamins. It is naturally low in fat, particularly saturated fat, compared to beef. Regulatory bodies like the FDA do not set specific limits for bison meat consumption, as it is considered a whole food. Like other red meats, excessive consumption has been linked to increased risk of certain chronic diseases in some studies, though evidence is mixed and depends on overall dietary patterns.
