Usually when Brenda or I write, we cover topics that have all sort of tips from us or from chefs we’ve experienced.

Today’s tip is unusual as it is what not to do.

I like bison and I’m always game to try different cuts. I purchased a “chuck” cut and figured I’d cook it similar to a chuck roast. That was certainly a wrong assumption on my part as I overcooked it.

It still tasted OK, but barely. In retrospect, I’d marinate it and grill it for 5 – 7 minutes on each side and slice like a London broil.

My tip is, when using a product that you are only somewhat familiar, check with your butcher or go online to the bison, beef, pork or whatever council and see what they recommend.

I consider myself a good cook and this was a mistake on my part.

I hope your new year is starting well. Keep cooking and enjoying. Remember, you can sign up for our updates to be sent directly to your e-mail. We do not share our list.

Culinarly yours,
