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!!

I have not had bison in years…never find it! These sound amazing – and such a GORGEOUS photo, Tara.
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thank you so much Heather!!
Diana @EatMoveShine says
Bison is a favorite of ours too! And what a great idea on the skewers, as they are a bit on the pricey side. Plus, smaller pieces would surely cook faster to keep them more tender. Lovely recipe!
Noshing with the Nolands says
So glad you liked it Diana, they were delicious!!
Bobbi's Kozy Kitchen says
I have never had bison before. This recipe makes me want to go find some right now!!!
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thanks Bobbi, it is a great lean tasty meat but it benefits from a good marinade!!
Lori @ Foxes Love Lemons says
Yummmmmm…I don’t think I’ve tried bison, but I love kabobs of all types. It wouldn’t be summer without them!
Noshing with the Nolands says
Oh, I think you would like bison. If you can find it give it a try Lori!!
Lori @ Foxes Love Lemons says
I’ll keep my eye out for it, for sure! There’s some good meat markets at Eastern Market in Detroit, so hopefully I’ll find it there!
Noshing with the Nolands says

Tara,
Thanks so much for stopping by blog. Glad I got to join this yummy BBQ. I’ve never had bison, so this might be something I have to try!

Katy says
I think I’d have more luck procuring gold dust than bison round these parts, but I love your adventurous kebabs! The marinade sounds heavenly!
Noshing with the Nolands says
LOL Katy, well you can always substitute beef!!
Paula @ Vintage Kitchen Notes says
Oh Tara, I never had bison, but the kebabs you share today, are what we call tenderloin brochettes here. They were SUCH a popular restaurant item years ago. I can imagine bison meat is just as good, and they´re very healthy too! Lovely recipe!
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thanks so much Paula!!
Courtney @ Neighborfood says
Oh yeah! I’ve never cooked with bison before, but clearly I need to start.

If you like beef you will love bison!! Thanks Courtney!!

Jen @JuanitasCocina says
Tara, these look fabulous! I don’t have bison available, but I bet these would be awesome with beef too!
Noshing with the Nolands says
They would be great with a marinated beef tenderloin, YUM!!
Renee says
I really enjoy bison and haven’t had it in a while. Brilliant way to stretch an expensive meat into kebabs. Healthy too with the veggies.
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thanks Renee!
Kelly Wheeler says
Your prep time is way off, takes far longer to do it correctly. And total time doesn’t factor in charcoal being lit, and coming to the perfect temperature, or are you using gas? Hate to be picky, but these things matter when I am cooking.
Tara Noland says
Shouldn’t take much longer than 20 min to prep and yes we do have gas so I did not allot time for charcoal.
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says
I love Bison meat and I love kababs! Awesome recipe Tara! I must bookmark this one!!
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thanks so much Jennifer, we loved them!! Had to have bison again last night!!
