I really wanted to participate in this week’s #SundaySupper with Bison Kebabs for Summer BBQ. Who doesn’t like BBQ food or anything associated with it? YUM!!!
I also have wanted to try bison for a long time and thought this was the perfect opportunity. This is our Canada Day long weekend and Bison would be a great way to celebrate.
Hmmm, what to do with it??? First off I had to find it and failed on my first visit to the organic market in our neighborhood. They said to try back the next day to see if they had received a shipment.
The next day was successful and I picked up two Bison rib eyes. Bison is an expensive choice for a large piece of meat, especially from the organic market but I didn’t know anywhere else to get it.
I decided on Bison Kebabs, as you can stretch a small piece of meat into many skewers. Kebabs are a summertime treat in this household. We all love them!!
Then I thought I would marinate the bison to give it extra flavor. Ken is the grill master in this house, so off he went to grill them to perfection.
The bison was medium rare, spiced right, and delicious. I served them over a bed of brown rice that was cooked in chicken broth for extra flavor.
I hope you try these this summer. ENJOY!!

Comments & Reviews
Chris Baccus says
Sounds and looks spiced right to me. Those look so good and best to do them medium rare like Ken did. They get a bit too tough if cooked long, as I’m sure you both know.
Anne @ Webicurean says
Those are some good lookin’ kebabs! I’ve only seen ground bison around here (well, Safeway) … I’ll bet if I go to a real butcher I could get some! The recipe sounds awesome
Cindys Recipes and Writings says
I used to get bison burgers every July 4th at an amusement park when I was a kid. Everyone got one for free. Good eats!
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thanks for coming by Cindy!!
Carla says
I’ve gotten ground buffalo meat before. And I think I’ve seen bison steaks at Whole Foods but you’re right – it is definitely pricier than typical beef. Perfect for special occasion dinners, like Canada Day or July 4th!
Noshing with the Nolands says
I have had it three times lately, it is so delicious, but does need a good marinade as it is so lean.
Alice @ Hip Foodie Mom says
