Dos and Don’ts on How To Cook Bison and Elk Steaks

[@LegendaryCollektor]

My mother just passed away in June. She had bison steaks to try cooking. She never got the chance. Im cooking them tonight with me and my girlfriend. Thank you for this video.

[@jamesfishing2294]

Rip bro I am sorry for the loss, I’m about to try them for the first time today for lunch for your mom 🙏

[@robviousobviously5757]

I marinade my venison overnight then grill over charcoal & pecan wood... marinade is vinegar olive oil garlic teriyaki smoked paprika salt h pepper... slow roll over the coals to perfect medium rare... amazing 👏

[@SaltyTales]

Nice! that's a great tip too!

[@danceatyourdoorstep]

Can you say the exact measurements?

[@RedderThanAres]

You guys are hilarious "Number A" instead of LETTER A HAHAHAHA Thanks for the great videos. You are one of the guys doing videos on wood argentinian grilling. Please keep them coming!

[@DavidABurns]

An excellent mini tutorial on bison cooking. Thank you amigo.

Just cooked this for my fiancé and she said “I think I just fell in love with you all over again” 😂❤️ amazing video brother, thank you!

[@Gingerandzimt]

Super helpful! I needed to cook elk steak for the first time and had no idea what to do. I followed your video and it came out perfect!. Thank you so much!

[@Ff2356]

Great job Ninja!!!! Sorry I have been away for a bit!!

[@mikemontgomery1163]

A and B are not numberssss! Lol! Ty for the video!

[@PhysicsLaboratory-cp7eq]

So the conclusion, either go for rare in the grill or beyond well done in the braise.

[@SirFortune91]

lol number A and number B; love this channel

Love you Ninja!!! You're always killing it

[@SaltyTales]

Thank you so much Nate!! You are the best! 😀😀

[@Viewtoagrill]

The Elk looked the best... seems worth trying... Take care Ninja!

[@massivemagoo]

you need to make some shorts and tiktoks man. think 30 seconds clips that get people engaged. then thery'll eventually come to this channel. keep at it brother.

[@jjames5928]

One thing that throws alot of people off about elk is that when it's raw , the exterior can be very very sticky

[@FOGOcharcoal]

LOL, I love love love Mrs Ninjas reactions to the first steak! Great video Ninja, I need to come do another one with you!

[@SaltyTales]

Come over man! We miss you

[@MGC819]

Will definitely wait for that

[@fantasma62]

Great video as usual, my brother!

[@SaltyTales]

Thank you so much Tony! You are the best! 😀😀

[@hazelatino626]

My ninja I been watching you since the other channel you were on. Your content is great 🙂👍 I never knew how to cook bison or elk I have cooked it before I told myself I am not a fan. I'll give it another go after watching your video. I am having a hard time keeping track with the different temps times you mentioned sometimes with your wonderful accent it's hard for me to understand you. Can you please place numbers on the screen when you are mentioning temps or measurements etc? Thank you for your wonderful channel 🙂

[@ivandrago9140]

Lay off the haze and you will understand. 🤪🤪

No problem I will! 😀😀😀 Thank you so much for letting me know and will do for sure!

Please show me how to do amazing pastrami I am in love with it right now but I want to make mine even better

mmmm I think I may have the things to make the most awesome pastrami! Hold my beer! 😀😀😀

[@Lawry200]

@@SaltyTales that would be sooo cool 😎

[@deminybs]

great video ninja!! I don't feel like digging through the freezer right now but I know I got either a 32 or 36oz bone in bison ribeye in there somewhere that needs to get eaten soon!! 😂😂 I actually need a separate/deep freezer since my normal freezer is literally packed so full nothing else can fit in there

[@Ifitfitz22]

Yup, if there is no fat to render down, you might as well get it just above room temp and call it done. We eat a ton of deer meat and a lot of people will say it's raw because it's so red but doneness is a temp and that temp is low on deer lol

[@bradcampbell624]

Great Vid! I have been blessed to have lived in or at least travelled to areas where I was able to have many types of meats: Moose, Caribou (American), Reindeer (Scandinavian), Elk, Bear and many smaller critters. The tastiest: Reindeer! Direct heat over a wood fired grill. The Norwegians really know their reindeer! p.s. Bear sounds exotic, but it smells like fish when it cooks...

[@SaltyTales]

Oh I had no idea about the smells in Bear meat... May be because of the what they eat? Great to know and thanks for the support! 😀😀

[@bradcampbell624]

@@SaltyTales Yep. The majority of their diet comes from salmon, at least in the southern part of Alaska (we lived in Kenai, south of Anchorage). Unfortunately, the 2 times we had them-bear ribs- they were oven slow roasted and were tender, but the house smelled like fish for days. Would've been so much better cooked over wood or charcoal.

[@roscoepcoltrane23]

Bear tastes like Mutton to me.

[@WhiskyLoversSociety]

Nice video. Great editing. I love cooking wild meat. Makes great meat pies

[@SaltyTales]

Wild meats are tastier and healthy too, double good! 😀😀

@@SaltyTales bro, I went every day from Monday to Friday and today I played padel as well. Give me some slack 🤣

[@rickbooher8224]

Thanks for this video I have been overlooking my wild game like venison, elk and Buffalo. The key is the temp of 110° F and a quick sear. I have ways gone to a 128° and quick sear then a ten minute rest. I wonder if you treat grass feed only beef the same as wild game if it would improve the taste and quality, as it is a very lean beef much like Buffalo, deer and elk. Something to try. It is the grains that is fed to cattle to increase fat content in the beef, so we get the addition flavor from those grains going in the meat as fat we so much appreciate in beef. It like duck you don't cook it the same way as one would cook other poultry like duck breast you can cook 128-135°f for rare to medium rate but chicken it has to go above 160°f. If you cooked duck like chicken it would become drier and not as tender as it should be.

[@SaltyTales]

I'll have to agree with you 1000% here and that is definetaly a great idea for a video comparison! I'll try to make it happen because like you I'm very curious about the results! Thanks for the support! 😀

[@patricksnyder3446]

If you over cook bison you're screwed! Number 1 was medium rare way to over cooked

[@rodneyfoustjr1315]

Bison is a clean animal 😊

[@jperin001]

I loves me some Bison! Damn, I'm hungry again. Elk, not so much, but that just means I need to try it again.

[@SaltyTales]

LOL Elk has a stronger flavor that I really like, bison is just AMAZING! 😀😀

[@jperin001]

@@SaltyTales Admittedly, I botched the cook on the elk. Next time I'll do better.

[@nancycowell-miller4321]

Might try bison again. Obviously I didn't know how to cook it!

[@SaltyTales]

Bison tastes amazing and is such a noble meat... Just a little care on the cook will take it far! 😀

Hey Ninja! Wouldn't it be fun to surprise Mrs. Ninja with a smoked bison brisket? Preferably cooked on a pellet smoker?! 😉 I did pop over to The Honest Bison and I want to try a brisket - but I'm scared I'll ruin it!

[@TheNathanpac3]

Making one tomorrow. Could use tips

[@KugoVolarus]

You should sous vide the elk and bison to see the difference!

[@JeremySmith-gu2du]

Great video

[@freddyinfantas7175]

Great content......would you cook elk flank steak the same?

These meats are not easy to get in the UK but nice to know what not to do if I can get my hands on them thanks...still wanna see you do a Dexter Steak

Don't get bison and elk in Australia, my loss

[@wcneathery3100]

Would you sous vide the game meat to 110 as well followed by a quick sear? If so how long in the bath?

[@SaltyTales]

I would of course! Give it about 2 hours on the bath and it should be ready to go!

[@fabrones49]

Number A and number B

[@ashwinshrestha7943]

One ☝️ request to make steak use the hottest chilli flakes and Szechuan pepper (not powder) flakes mix it with oil just like pickle type along with salt. Rub it on steak and cook it and taste it

I haven't even try a good medium rare steak so far yet Bison.

[@ThirdProletariat]

I live in Canada my buddy is from Blackfoot nation and gave me 25 pounds of bison I don’t know what to do with it I made some stew and burgers what elseee 🙏😭

[@Thircle]

If you’re in Calgary i’ll buy some off you

[@danceatyourdoorstep]

Is it just salt and pepper on there? You dont need to marinade?

[@ThirdProletariat]

I’ve done a pineapple marinade for some elk meat before it works too but I prefer something simplistic, like salt and pepper maybe some Cajun seasoning, I find that if you marinate elk or bison for too long, it takes away some of that sweet flavor that naturally comes from the fat, especially if you marinate it in something acidic like vinegar it tends to render out.

[@thesandman8669]

not me watching this knowing that i’m just gonna season it and put it in the black top until the middle is 130 degrees 😂

Any clue which was A and B?

[@bearcat6278]

Not a good video, things were rushed you never said which number/letter was which method of cooking and tasting. The editing was choppy and could be why it seems rushed. Overuse of “beefy” maybe try rich meat flavor, strong or bold(which was used once.) I’d give this entire video a number D+ 🤣🥷 better luck next time.
