Bison Brisket

The cut that built barbecue

Brisket is a smoker's dream and a low-and-slow legend. Tough when raw, transcendent when cooked properly — hours over indirect heat or in a slow oven turn it into pull-apart tender meat with bark you'll want to fight over. Each package is a portion-sized brisket cut from our grass-fed Colorado bison, ideal for a small gathering or weekend cook.

Classic served sliced with white bread, pickles, and onions Texas-style. Also makes outstanding burnt ends, brisket tacos, brisket chili, or pulled brisket sandwiches with coleslaw. Leftovers are arguably better than the first day.

A note on cooking grass-fed bison: Grass-fed bison brisket is significantly leaner than the beef brisket most pitmasters are used to. Without the fat reserves of a beef brisket, this cut can move from underdone to overdone faster than expected. Watch your internal temperature closely, wrap in butcher paper when the bark sets, and don't over-render.

A note on weight: The package size you select is your guaranteed minimum. Many packages run slightly heavier. Each cut is hand-trimmed by our USDA-inspected processor from individual animals, and natural variation is part of what makes this real ranch meat.
