Massaman Spiced Curry With Bison Top Sirloin Steak
Massaman curry is a rich and mild curry, offering tons of warming flavor without too much heat. It comes from a combination of Indian and Thai influences, so it’s the best of both worlds. All of the rich spices of an Indian curry and all of the fresh and bright flavors of a Thai curry come together to make this delicious meal. Mouthwatering bison top sirloin steak is the perfect protein to complement the exotic spices, fresh lime juice and smooth coconut cream. Makes a tasty meal all on its own, or my favorite way - spooned generously over fragrant jasmine rice.

If You Like Beef, You’re Going To Love Bison
If you’ve never eaten bison before, you’re probably curious what it tastes like. The simple answer is that if you like the flavor of beef, you’re going to absolutely love bison. It’s very similar, but with a slightly sweeter taste. It’s naturally leaner and more tender. It has no “gamey” flavor whatsoever.
The key to preparing delicious bison is not to overcook it. It always needs to be cooked less than you would typically cook the same cut of beef. When cooked too much, bison will become tough - we always recommend cooking to medium rare for the ultimate flavor and texture. From premium steaks to fajita meat to burgers, any dish you’re used to cooking with beef will be amazing when prepared with bison.

Free Range Bison That Roam Our Beautiful Ranch
Our bison live free range on 10,000 beautiful acres here in New Mexico, or roam freely on our carefully selected partner ranches. They are pasture raised and never administered any amount of hormones, steroids or antibiotics. These are powerful, strong animals that live essentially wild with minimal handling. There were once 60 million bison roaming North America, and we hope to see their numbers increase back to even 1 million during our lifetime. By increasing the demand for ethically sourced bison meat, we can help to bolster their population. The more people that want to purchase this nourishing and nutrient dense meat, the more farmers will be encouraged to raise bison. This directly helps to increase the number of herds which assists in providing genetic diversity for the population.
