Colorado Bison Ground Beef — 1 lb Brick (Rock River Bison)

$22.97 · 1 lb brick · Vacuum packed, frozen · Rock River Bison

Naturally raised Colorado bison ground beef from Rock River Ranches, the same product on the menu at some of Denver's best restaurants. Leaner than beef, richer in flavor, and raised without antibiotics or growth promotants on Colorado grass.

Bison is lower in fat than beef by nature, which means it cooks faster and dries out if you push it too hard. Medium heat, don't overcook it, and it rewards you with a clean, full-flavored beef that can't match.

Good for: burgers, taco meat, pasta sauce, meatloaf, anything you'd use ground beef for, and want more out of.

Comes frozen, vacuum-packed in a 1 lb brick. Thaw in the fridge overnight. Cook to 160°F internal. Don't overcook — bison is lean and moves fast.

ABOUT ROCK RIVER BISON 

Rock River Ranches is a family operation run by Rex and Julie Moore and their two sons out of Commerce City, Colorado. They run their own bison herds in Wray, Hudson, and Hartsel, Colorado. The animals are raised naturally on grass without antibiotics or growth promotants for about 18 months, then finished on hay and grain in small groups with room to move. They harvest in small groups of 10 to 14 bison every two to four weeks, which means fresh product is always moving. The same bison you're ordering from Sandy's Way is what's on the menu at Elway's, Tocabe, and Wolf's Tailor. I chose Rock River because of how they raise and handle their animals, and because they're Colorado's finest local producer.
