WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY

  • Zero net carbs—no impact on ketosis
  • High-quality protein (~24g/100g) supports muscle and satiety
  • Moderate fat (~7g/100g) pairs well with added keto fats
  • Typically pasture-raised with a favorable micronutrient profile
  • Clean ingredient list (unprocessed cuts) aligns with whole-food keto

PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

GRILLED BISON BURGER

Form ground bison with salt, pepper, and garlic; grill medium to preserve juiciness. Serve in lettuce wraps with avocado.

Season simply; sear in butter or ghee 3–4 minutes per side. Rest and finish with compound-butter.

BISON ROAST

Roast low and slow at 275°F (135°C) to avoid drying; baste with beef tallow for extra richness.

BISON CHILI

Simmer ground bison with beef broth, peppers, and spices (skip beans) for a hearty, low-carb chili.
