I just received an email from some clients regarding how they liked their Watusi and Bison meat which they harvested with Texas Hunt Lodge.  Here are a few recipe ideas:

The Watusi is very lean and a little tough, which is no surprise. Flavor is interesting - as there isn't any flavor at all!  No beef flavor, nor game flavor!  It is bizarre. 

 

Regular hamburger grind is recommended, chilli grind was a bit tough (at least with that recipe). I'll turn it into breakfast sausage.

 

We have had it in meatballs with italian sausage, and it was great.  We had 2 batches of chilli, and the regular grind was fantastic. And I just made the best crock pot stew ever! We used round steak w/ Eastman Outdoors brand Italian seasoning with a couple of cans of diced tomatoes ++. The seasoning is for game & I think it utilizes enzymes for tenderizing.  The meat was firm near the end of cooking, but was beautifully tender a couple of hours later.

 

Best of all - the Watusi fit in the freezer (just).

 

Glenn grilled some buffalo steaks and said they were a bit tough, so he just needs to use a wet method of cooking - good flavor though.

 

To free up some freezer space, I offered to take some meat to the food bank, and the wife about beat me, so I think she likes it too (and is selfish).

 

THANKS AGAIN!
