Bison Tri-Tip Roast

I loved the flavor of the tri tip roast. It definitely was delicious. The reason I only gave it a 3 is that I was very disappointed in the size of the trip tips I ordered. They were supposed to be 2-2.5 lbs each, and while I hoped for roasts close to the 2.5, I knew both probably wouldn't be. I at least wanted them to average 2.225 lbs. I got one at 2.26 and the other at 2.03. A 2.13 average and definitely not what I expected for a relatively expensive cut of meat.

Seasoned with salt and pepper and some fresh herbs. Then cooked sous vide at 132 for 6 hours - then seared on a hot grill for 90 seconds on each side. Turned out a perfect med-rare, nice and tender, juicy and incredibly flavorful.

NorthStar Bison roasts are WONDERFUL! We order now only when we know either the couple we associate or my daughter's family is visiting, because the roasts are the real thing and too big just for the two of us. And too good to be wasted just because we couldn't eat it all. Yeah, you can freeze leftovers for later use but nothing beats the taste owhen eaten the day it's cooked.

I made a 1.7 lb tri-tip for a friend and his wife for dinner. Neither of them had eaten bison meat before. My friend was very skeptical about it being as good as (let alone better than) beef from the local supermarkets. I prepared the tri-tip just like beef on the grill, but didn't cook it as long. It was over heat for about 35 minutes in total and came to a beautiful and moist medium/medium rare. After I gave my friend the first slice, he was hooked and now wants to get in on my next big order. This was the first time I cooked bison and I am very pleased with how it turned out. Also the shipping prices are by far the lowest i saw anywhere, especially for having to over night 6 lbs of meat. Thank You North Star Bison for the awesome meat. I will definitely be ordering a tri-tip again.
