Colorado Bison NY Striploin Steak — 12 oz (Rock River Bison)

$39.97 · 12 oz · Vacuum packed, frozen · Rock River Bison

A 12-oz bison NY striploin from Rock River Ranches, the same cut on the menu at Elway's. The striploin is the best of both worlds on a bison: enough fat for flavor and tenderness, enough structure to get a proper sear and cut.

Bison steaks cook about 30% faster than beef at the same thickness. High heat, shorter time, rest it before you cut. Done right, it's the best steak you've had in a while.

Good for: a proper steak dinner, date night at home, the grill when you want to do something worth doing, a cast-iron sear with butter and a handful of fresh herbs.

Comes frozen. Thaw completely in the fridge before cooking. High heat sear, 125-130°F internal for medium rare. Rest 5 minutes before cutting. Do not overcook — bison does not forgive it.

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.
