Noble Premium Bison Trim – Maximum Versatility and Value

Noble Premium Bison Trim – Maximum Versatility and Value

Bison is similar in appearance and flavour to beef, but slightly darker and sweeter. The biggest difference is in the fat and nutrition content. Bison has more vitamins, minerals and Omega 3s than beef and because it’s lower in fat, most of the flavour comes from the meat, not the fat.

When it comes to our trimming, different levels of lean to fat provide different yields once cooked (the leaner the product the higher the yield). With regard to pricing, remember—the cheapest may not always be the most cost effective, so consider the yield. Noble offers customized ratios for ultimate yield; Extra lean – 10% fat (90% lean), Lean – not more than 15% fat (85% lean) and Regular – not more than 20% fat (80% lean).

You can substitute ground bison in any recipe that calls for ground meat. Make our delicious Bison Gorgonzola Burgers and grill, fry or broil in the oven. Brown ground bison on the stovetop and use in spaghetti sauce, tacos, soups or chili. Substitute bison for beef or poultry in your favourite meatloaf, meatballs or casserole recipe. 

Bison meat will cook faster than beef (in beef, fat is an insulator and slows down the cooking). To compensate for that, you may need to make minor adjustments. To guarantee that your ground recipes turn out juicy and moist, check the temperature with an instant read thermometer and remove the heat at your desired temperature. 

Always cook your ground meat thoroughly; it is recommended that the internal temperature of the meat reaches 160°F/70°C.

Bison Gorgonzola Burgers

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb. (500 g) Ground Bison
  • 1 Egg
  • ½ cup (125ml) Panko flakes (or bread crumbs)
  • 1 clove Garlic (fine chop)
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup (65 ml) Red onion (very fine dice)
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) Smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp (2.5 ml) Black pepper
  • ½ tsp (2.5 ml) Salt
  • 5 oz (150 g) Diced gorgonzola cheese

DIRECTIONS

Mix all ingredients thoroughly and form into patties. Grill over high heat for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, depending on size of patty. Do not overcook – bison burgers are lower in fat and should be cooked for approximately 1/2 the time of beef burgers. 

How to handle ground bison meat at home.

Handle bison meat as you would any other ground meat product. It’s important to note that all food of animal origin can harbour bacteria. Some bacteria can make you very sick, so store and handle with care.

STORAGE:

  • Follow the handling instructions on the package. Keep meat in its package until using.
  • Keep ground meat in your refrigerator or freezer; this preserves freshness and slows growth of bacteria. 
  • Use ground meat within 2 days of purchase. 
  • If you need to store it for longer periods, wrap securely in plastic or foil and put in your freezer; it will be fine for several months. Remember to mark the date on the package so you don’t forget when you put it in there.
  • You can safely keep any leftovers refrigerated up to three days. If you choose to freeze your leftovers they will be good for a couple of months.

BEST WAY TO THAW:

  • Refresh (thaw) ground bison in the refrigerator. Make sure to put it on a plate or shallow pan in case any juice escapes from the package.  
  • Keeping meat cold while defrosting prevents the growth of bacteria. Once it thaws be sure to use it within one to two days. Don’t refreeze it. 
  • It is recommended not to thaw your meat at room temperature or in the microwave. If you are in a big hurry, fill a sink with cold water and leave the package in the water until it thaws.

From food trucks to bistros and wineries, high end From food trucks to bistros and wineries, high end restaurants and culinary experiences, indigenous cuisine, including bison, is transforming Canada’s food scene.As Chef Rich Francis once said, ‘it’s important to remember that ingredients synonymous with Canada, be they salmon, Saskatoon berries or maple syrup, were first used long before Confederation and continue to be an important part of Indigenous cuisine.’We can include bison in that list too. We’re proud to be one of many independent agriculture families across Canada who are growing healthy bison herds. By raising them regeneratively, on open pasture with very little human intervention, the bison are thriving along with the grasslands.We’re also excited to see so many up and coming chefs bringing indigenous cuisine to the forefront. And in honour of National Indigenous Peoples Day, here’s just a sampling of some of Canada’s Indigenous chefs, and how you can share their passion:👉 https://travellife.ca/indigenous-chefs-on-the-rise-canada/

Tips on how to make the most of your meatballs! #m Tips on how to make the most of your meatballs! #meatballmonday
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Meatballs are an easy, inexpensive appetizer or meal that we enjoy any day of the week! Glazed, simmered or sautéed, these little balls of goodness are extra nutritious when you make ‘em with ground bison! Here’s a few tips on making the most of your meatballs:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Start with a good quality ground meat - like Noble Premium Lean Ground Bison! Grass raised without hormones or antibiotics. YUM.
👉 Keep your ingredients cold - helps keep the fat from breaking down before you cook them. If adding precooked ingredients, let those cool first.
👉 Add a little moisture - eggs, breadcrumbs moistened with milk, or a cheese like gorgonzola all add a little moisture to the mix.
👉 Don’t overcook - bison is really lean, with less fat than beef or pork, so don’t overcook to keep them tender.
👉 Do a taste test - panfry a sample patty to check your seasonings and adjust as needed before you make all your meatballs.
👉 Handle with care - gently mix your ingredients together, use an ice cream scoop to form the balls or oil your hands and roll gently.
👉 Skip the frying - it's kinda messy so we prefer to bake, broil or cook right in our favourite sauce.

Looking for a change? Why not try bison!Bison me Looking for a change? Why not try bison!Bison meat is different than beef or pork. It’s more nutrient-dense, leaner, and always raised on the open range. We never give our animals growth hormones because it’s better for the animals, and we think, better for us, too. #eatbettereatbison
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bison are not raised on the same massive scale as cattle, graze primarily on pasture, and spend more time on the ranch. Because of how they’re raised, #bisonmeat is considered more of a specialty item than a commodity. #goodfoodstory
