My grandfather was born in Crow Agency, Montana, and was a member of the Greasy Mouth Clan of the Crow Nation. As a Crow tribal member, he hunted year-round with family in the Pryor and Bighorn Mountains. The stories he told of buffalo hunts were among the most memorable, I especially remember the abundance and variety of meat these hunts provided, always sparked lively familial stories/memories many years later.
One of my favorite food memories from childhood was tasting buffalo for the first time at a family reunion. I was about ten years old and had already gone back for a third plate before my grandfather told me, to my surprise, I wasn’t eating uniquely flavored beef, but Bison. I remember at the time thinking Bison might be my new favorite food.
To this day, I love the flavor of bison more than venison, elk, beef, or any other meat. It’s very lean, with little natural fat, and when cooked properly, it is absolutely delicious.
Ingredients/Flavors:
Buffalo Meat! (Really in any application, it is very versatile, and can pretty much be used in any way you would use lean Steak.) We most commonly had it ground and used in Tacos or Chili.
