Buffalo Cooking Tips
IT’S LEAN, DON’T OVER COOK IT
Buffalo is leaner and higher in protein and iron than beef. It is best served medium-rare.
DON’T COOK COLD
Bring the meat to room temperature before cooking it.
OIL THE MEAT NOT THE PAN
When grilling, barbecuing or pan-frying steaks, first brush each side of the meat with a little oil, before searing for one minute each side per cm thickness and then cook to rare.
Take of the heat and rest for 5-10 minutes under foil or in a warm oven. Cooking any more than medium rare will tend to dry out the cut due to its low fat content.
ROASTING – SALT PLUS HEAT EQUALS CRISPY AND DELICIOUS
When roasting larger cuts, first sear all sides of the meat to seal in the juices. To achieve a medium-rare roast, cook at 180°C/350°F for 45 mins to one hour per kilo.
KEEP STIR FRY MOVING
Buffalo stir fry only takes a couple of minutes cooking on a high heat – just remember to keep the meat moving in the pan or wok to avoid over-cooking.
REST IT
After cooking, let your Buffalo rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to evenly disperse.
