Advice on the roasting of Bison

  • Keep the meet a little further away from the heating source than you would normally do – whether it’s on the barbecue or in the oven
  • Keep the heat at a maximum of 180° C
  • Use a meat roasting thermometer to ensure that the roast reaches the desired temperature (NB the final 10 degrees will advance at a rapid pace… you can always find a volunteer to keep an eye on things over a glass of red wine
  • For the best result, a core temperature between 55° C and 57° C (medium rare)
  • If possible, leave the meat to rest for about half an hour before carving
  • On average, you should allow 30 minutes’ roasting time per kg meat, at an oven temperature of 180° C / more at lower temperatures
  • For pot roasts (joints of beef, shoulder / chuck rib), you should allow between 1 and 1½  hours’ roasting time – equal to a core temperature of approx. 80° C

 

Serve your meat (roast beef, filet, rump of beef, joint of rump, eye of round) rare or medium rare – your meat will be much juicier and tastier.
Please remember that the meat fibres are short, and hence – albeit rare – the meat will not appear “raw”. In bison meat, shoulder and chuck rib is of such a fine quality that it can be served rare or medium rare. This is best achieved at a temperature of about 60-62° C.
