Buffalo meat is the shit

I bought ground meat, steaks, they are delicous and high protein (stakes are very lean). It was only $6 a pound (it's never in the were I live either) so I got it instead of chicken breast, normal ground beef or stakes, now i know why some of the pros are eating this instead of regular red meat, it taste great. I plan to eat almost all over the next 2-3 days.

So where did you buy it at??

I once bought a quarter of a cow. Greatest deal ever. I had the fattier roasts ground with leaner meat so all the ground beef ws about 95% lean. Plus there were tons of steaks of different sorts. About 200 pounds total for like $390 bucks...

Yeah i got it at Super Fresh which doesn't have the biggest selection to begin with but when i saw Buffalo meat i bought all that was left........ Just like the kinda meat you metioned, all natural high quality stuff and worth the money

They do not have a publix I know of in the Boston area. Any idea where I could get some of this stuff? Is it really that good?

Not certain where you live (if cows are raised near by) but talk with a local butcher shop about this to start - a mom and pop style one. Else, look in the phone book and call a farmer or two if you can...

The money I saved on all the T-Bones alone was huge!

Where i live the farms are disapearing (south east pa) but i live next to a pretty big one which is also a historic site (mall across the street from my house and farm within a golf drive). I would probably have to go to a butcher, what would i want to ask him for?

Yeah, you'll drive - so call around (I drove 2+ hours each way to pick it up)...

Anyway, you will want organic (hormone free) raised cattle - Black angus would be nice, but may cost a little more, I would get it if the option is there. Explain that you want it lean and the fattier roasts ground up and made into lean burger (you will want all your burger at 95% lean or so).

Also tell them how you want it packaged. I had 1/2 of my burger put in 1 pound packages and the other half in 1.5 lb packages. I also had all steaks put in two packs, the round steaks tenderized (should be no extra cost here), and roasts put into 2-2.5 lb packages. The packaging should be good for 1 year so don't worry about that.

All in all, mom and pop meat shops are best because they are closer to the farmers and will be honest about costs, where to go if they can't do it, etc. Believe it or not, there are probably more butchers than you think out there. The "city" where I bought mine had about 800 people - and I lived in a city of 3 million at the time with plenty of meat shops around.

I might add that I have moved - so if anybody knows of a good place to get 1/4 or 1/2 cow in WI, IL, MN or IA please PM me. Thx.

Good flavor & protein w/ lower fat than beef.

Enjoy some monster dumps in the next few days; get some economy-sized air-freshener..hahahahahah

littleguns · « **Reply #15 on:** July 14, 2006, 09:39:57 AM »

Damn,

$5-$6 a lb, damn thats alot. I get it from my local butcher here in Tampa Fl at about $3 a lb. Very lean steaks....cooks very quick due to lack of fat

Ostridge meat is awesome too. Hard to fine.

Buffalo burgers are great. There is a restaurant on Kauai that sells only buffalo meat. They raise buffalo here in Hawaii.
