Black Buffalo - Ictiobus niger
Considered by many to be very tasty fried, I've found it to have a slight oily taste. My dad used to love it.

Had an interesting morning, late last eve I was at the supermarket and thought about buying a steak.
Yurns out they had some nice buffalo sirloins that were cheaper than beef, so I figured time to try it...
Steak and eggs for breakfast. I fried it in olive oil w/onions.
Delicious! But one thing I would note is I cooked it about as rare as I would cook a beefsteak, yet the inside parts were still a bit too rare for me, so I put that back on for a few minutes.
Experiences? Recipes? Recommended cuts?
I can plainly see this is something I'm going to have again!
love bison...some of the best eating around
There was this steak joint in Chicago I went to years ago that had some special kind of mold they used for dry-aging. The steaks were on display for people to pick and they were literally green covered by the mold.
They were very, very good, but I wouldn’t call them the best I ever had... the best was grass-fed - in Mazatlan.
Yum...
try whole foods
I would rather eat a worm.
Poor buffalo.
Had one as a pet for awhile. He gored the mailman. One of our cats ate him one day. The buffalo, not the mailman.
I generally use olive oil or coconut oil.
I have some corn oil in my prepper stuff, can’t even remember the last time I cooked anything with it though...
Omega 6 oils are bad for you.
We used to get buffalo here frequently. But then the owner of the herd went to jail for something and the ranch and herd were sold.
That aside, the meat was always good. I always enjoyed the buffalo burgers sold at a local eatery, also out of business.
How big was your cat!?!
“I generally use olive oil or coconut oil.”
Coconut oil?
I have never heard of coconut oil for cooking, and I live here in Panama.
It sounds great!....
I just got off the phone with my sister-in-law. Both she and my brother like to cook. They are both great cooks...and both are slim...I asked her if they had ever seen coconut oil for cooking on our supermarket shelves. Her response was a regretful “no.” “But” she added...”When we lived in Mexico, coconut oil was used on leather goods.”
After she said that, we both had a good laugh. She meant it. She used her comment to add humor to the conversation.

I’ve had Buffalo wings before.....
It’s no wonder they couldn’t fly, those wings were tiny......But very tasty....
Hope this helps...
Buffalo is great! Less fat and drier as others have noted. There is a buffalo farm near Meadville PA about an hour and a half north of Pittsburgh and maybe aa half hiur from mrs p6’s family farm.
They are usually at the PA farm show and put on a wonderful presentation!
Yes...
Being drier, less fatty than beef I like steaks aged or marinated.
When making burgers, try adding minced onion, peppers and/or garlic to add flavor and help keep it moist.
Marinated it makes great fajitas.
Makes great chili.
It’s a very light oil that doesn’t break down during cooking. So light, in fact, that it solidifies at around 76 degrees. So it may or may not look “liquid” to you if you see it in the jar.
Although it has cold winters, I've heard that Buffalo, Wyo. is a great place to live.
I know a lot of people bitch about all the snow but it only sticks around until early spring. After that, it's pretty much gone until November. Also, you are right by the Great Lakes and not too far from Niagara Falls. Not sure how Buffalo rates a NFL football team but they do fill the stadium on a consistent basis.
Now back to the meat. Buffalo meat is damn good. Are you kidding me? When we settled the United States, the Great Plains was teeming with buffalo yet we hunted them almost into extinction. Those cowboys were hungry.
I grew up in Livingston County.
Been there many times.
Niagara Falls?
Slowly, I turn...
Step by step...
Inch by inch...
Lol!!
