Back in Buffalo!
Back in Buffalo
My "Giant of PA" supermarket had one pound cryovac'd "brick" packs of
ground buffalo in the meat case. "Great Range" brand.
No antibiotics, no hormones, no additives. Their website did mention
grain-fed.
I shaped one and nuked it on a paper plate, between a dinner paper napkin
for 35 seconds, flipped and nuked again another 35 seconds. Tossed it on
plain hamburger roll naked, to better judge the flavor I've so familiar
with.
The flavor was much less pronounced compared to free-range but at least
it was there. I know it being grain fed was to blame.
It's just as lean, 90%. A 1/4-pound serving contains only 4g of sat. fat.
I don't think the nuker detracted from the flavor as I've cooked free-
range in it with superior flavor. There were a few medium rare bites
where the middle plumped up. I'll have to use the thumb depression trick
and cook it slower to get bloody rare, the way I like. I've never gotten
food poisoning from rare buffalo in my handful or more years of enjoying
buffalo.
I just wish there was a rancher nearby raising free-range buffalo for
sale to the public!

Nuked and ruined! You have no taste buds, BUD. Microwaved meat is
boiled. You're familiar with NO flavor, NONE!
DUH.
