Bison vs. Elk: The Ultimate Porterhouse Steak Showdown | By The Bearded Butchers

[@garykawlewski8534]

Cruel and unusual punishment to have to watch you eat that amazing meat without being able to share it with you! Didn’t realize your mouth could water from a video! Looks amazing! Love your channel!

[@harrisonmantooth7363]

I'm dieing to try some of their Cinnamon Swirl Seasoning on some Butternut Squash. My mouth is literally oozing 😂. Don't get me wrong, either of those cuts of meat looks great too.

One can judge a man's character by the way he treats his animals. You gentlemen are top notch fellas. Excellent video, keep them coming!

In early May 2021, I went 2 Whitefeather and picked up 2 beautiful bison porterhouse. Cooked then on the grill for my son and I. They were the most awesome steaks we had ever eaten. I'm glad that I had learned that because they are so lean, you have to cook them for a shorter time than beef. They turned out a perfect medium rare, closer to rare. 👍 I wish I could afford to get them again. I live in Norton, Ohio. I'm 30+ minutes away. The economy hasn't been conducive for me to get out they way. I hope this spring things will be different. PS the 2 steaks at the time were around $70 but way more worth every penny.

[@jerrymaycroft]

I don't do social media but watch you guys all the time on youtube. I love to watch you break down deer, pigs, cows...and that you do. I think if had known when I was young, I would have loved to have been a meat processor like you guys. I LOVE your videos!!!

[@MrRebar15]

*The Bearded Butchers* Bravo well done, thank-you gentlemen for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Our pleasure!

[@marvinjudengeskebei927]

I am a Pacific Islander and I am also a butcher certified by the USDA. I just love to grill anything that I could get my hands on and I love and enjoy your spices got the whole 11 rack the family loves it and keep up the greatness 👍👍

[@SkarGig]

Why people don't grill more in fall and winter is beyond me. So nice cooking outdoors in this weather

[@id10t98]

I use the stove inside maybe four times a year. I go through a lot of propane and smoking chips!

[@wickedcabinboy]

@ZoeKatherineProject - Grilling in the fall is great. I don't grill in the winter because I don't like being cold. That simple.

[@donandersonanderson1595]

I LOVE grilling in the winter with a whiskey over ice in hand! Stubbed out a natural gas line when I built my house so I don't have to mess with propane...

[@canaisyoung3601]

I know, right? Considering the excess heat in the summer, grilling in fall and winter just seems more appropriate. Then again, there are places where it gets cold and wet, so maybe grilling is best left to the nice weather months. Still, a Thanksgiving or Christmas grill/BBQ party sounds like the best idea ever.

[@wickedcabinboy]

@@canaisyoung3601 - We just had an early thanksgiving grilling party last weekend. It was great.

[@joee8031]

I was NE Ohio last summer and picked up some steaks in person to grill at our Airbnb. Weekend so missed the bros. Brought home a Bison Porterhouse and will grill it for my birthday.

[@raidadave7840]

I love your comparison videos. These are both my two favorite meats!! I have a very hard time picking between the two myself.

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Glad you like them!

[@toucheturtle3840]

Just found your channel. I practiced the noble art in my village butchers nearly 3 decades ago. Brings back many happy memories. Sadly, the shop & slaughterhouse were sold off for development. The bandsaw footage always makes me cringe. When one of those blades snaps it makes hell of a bang! It was hard work at times, but I’m glad I had 10 years at it. A real education.👍🏻

[@marioncobaretti2280]

Bandsaws help get rid of people quickly , ask the sopranos and the role of the pork store 😢

[@peterburton3147]

I'm in Australia. I was in the US twice back in 2019. I fell in love with both bison and elk. Bison tastes like the best cut of tender beef, and elk has it's own mouth watering taste. Great to see you cooked both meats unseasoned so you can taste the actual flavour. I wish you guys would export both meats to Australia!!

[@jacobmoses3712]

In OZ, you have wild camels and wild donkeys. Maybe you could have a cookup with Bearded Butchers seasonings

[@leecrumpton583]

Might not have bison here in Australia but we many deer species camels water buffalo goats plenty of options

[@peterburton3147]

@@leecrumpton583 Yes, I have had deer (venison) numerous times, as well as goat. Both camel and buffalo is hard to buy. But it's both bison and elk I miss, having tried it a few times in the US.

[@seijin4426]

Bison IS beef dude. Just cuz it's a different breed of cattle don't make it any less beef.

[@rampedimaffa]

You have kangaroos in your country. You can enjoy their meat as well.

[@brianmoody2549]

The cuts looked great,,after you cooked them you could see that textures and flavor of being cooked so well

[@Hortonscakes]

I love when you guys grill/cook. That elk and bison looks so delicious! And that squash! I'm not a squash person, but yall changed me. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving! ❤

[@Pahakyy]

As a biologist it's nice that you shortly, and maybe too shortly explained the systematics between the species. All for the best and the steaks look great.

[@sandramcd54]

These two brothers work together like hand in glove

[@JeffBeck-k9m]

Elk (Family Cervidae) and American bison (Family Bovidae) are 2 of the 150 species of ruminant herbivores. Horses are monogastric herbivores. Although not in the same family, elk and bison are in the same order of mammals, but not in the same mammalian order as horses, so they are more closely related, and neither are closely related to horses. The reason the American bison and elk you are cutting are exotic is they are wild animals kept in captivity. Just trying to clarify some misinterpretations of the information you shared. I love your shows, keep up the great work!

[@reggierico]

The key to cooking/grilling these is to NOT over cook them! Medium rare is the most you want when cooking this, especially the elk venison. BTW Your subs have gone up over 1 million in about a year. Well done, gentlemen!

[@shakarussanders9911]

I work at Central Market down here in Texas, we have Bison and Elk, and other exotic meats! But the Elk is very pricey but worth every cent! It's good to spend money on quality!

[@michaeldean9338]

I came across this channel by chance. Now, officially hooked! Thank you, fellas

[@CJ_Caster]

I absolutely love porterhouse steaks! That's my favorite food of all time. Especially when they're that thick. Great video!

Grew up 20 mi. east of you in Barberton, Ohio. Been in New Mexico for 38 years. Loved both places!

Thank you so much, have a good week!

[@stealtheli]

Fantastic! I no longer hunt. So I have not had Elk in a long time. I miss the taste. I am giving Bearded butchers spices and BBQ sauce out for Christmas. Turning my family on too Black and Brock. My favorites. Then Zesty for veggies.

Very nice instructional video. But no attribution for the musician. Pleas advise who was playing the slide?

[@shawnlewis1918]

I know you boys want to sell your seasoning but I guess I'm a meat connoisseur because I can appreciate a good cut of meat with just the basics of salt, pepper and garlic powder....multiple seasonings actually take away from my pleasure of the meat product, to me less is more! But great video and the cuts were cooked to perfection!!!

[@WhatsCookingTime]

I agree with you 100%. Salt cracked pepper and garlic . All I need. I prefer a less season steak

[@empresslove333]

[@leroyarnold7772]

awesome show!!!! Well done and great regards to two great animals. What bread of beef do you like best for flavor and quality?

[@alipkowitz]

In your deer processing video you mentioned that the fat does not taste good. How does the fat of the elk and bison compare? How do they compare to beef?

[@dvskane1808]

No expert or foody, but I hate fat on a lean steak. I don’t even like fat on jerky…just nah. I like it lean. Many people will say that’s where the flavor is. I disagree, it ruins the flavor of the meat, takes away from the different flavor of game. Jmo🤷‍♂️

I’ve wondered what the flavor of both Elk and Bison would taste like if each were raised using the same process as Wagyu? Would the Bison taste more similar to regular Wagyu? Definitely love the channel

I declare both are winners!!!! 😋😋😋😋

[@mr.c.6241]

Great video and good luck on your elk hunt. I am also a hunter and filled my elk tag this year and i always process my own game and i have some incredible steaks, roast and burger. For me elk is by far the best meat i have ever had. I am from the pacific northwest and we have both elk species here with the Roosevelt elk on the west range and Rocky Mountain elk on the east range. Both are excellent but they do have a slightly different flavor and i believe this is due to the vastly different food sources. Maybe you can do a 42 day dry age elk vs bison challenge. That would be very interesting.

[@roncarlson8061]

Great Video men, the steaks look absolutely delicious 😋 😋

haven't had elk in a minute. bison is getting more and more popular. most of the ground beef i'm using these days is bison. makes unreal chili and stews. looks like i need to try some of the steaks

[@TimWhitehead-r3h]

That's just not fair!! I drooled the whole video with jealousy!!

Did those porterhouse come off of a bull or cow elk? They look slightly larger than what I got off of the last cow elk I shot. In my opinion elk tastes like lean beef. One of the best wild game meats there is.

The most important part about cooking elk is to not overcook, if you are going to fry it put some bacon greese in a pan , a little salt a little pepper maybe a touch of garlic powder , put it in do not walk away from the pan! Cook short time flip cook short time serve hot and juicey elk backstrap hashbrowns eggs over easy , best breakfast ever😊😊😊😊😊

We really appreciate your videos…. That’s some good meat😊

[@chadhoward07]

one thing i’ve found that helps when cooking thick steaks is get a knife that’s about the with of you pinky finger and cut 2 or 3 tiny holes from top to bottom, just push it in, & then out the steak cooks a little faster while not getting heavily charred. then with the porterhouse do the same thing as above, but also cut 3 small slits along the strip side against the bone so the heat from the grill can get to that part, & then the same for the fillet side but 2 slits. i also cook mine on the top rack with high heat to kinda get the rotisserie chicken idea where the steak cooks but doesn’t char, then when my steaks are medium rare just before medium i put them on the bottom to sear them while they come up to medium well. i like medium well only because i want a really hot steak. steak, & baked potatoes are the only food i enjoy hot everything else i wait til it gets to room temp before digging in🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
