Meat
Mince
Bison mince is finely ground meat sold for sauces, pies, dumplings, and meatballs—the same raw material as “ground,” often with a finer plate for smoother ragù. Because bison runs lean, the batch benefits from added fat, olive oil in the pan, or a sauce that carries moisture so the protein does not taste chalky once reduced. Brown in batches so the pan stays hot and crust forms; deglaze for depth. For meatballs and kofta, bind with egg and crumb, and do not pack tight. Season with salt early enough to dissolve, but keep bold spices secondary so the sweet red-meat note still reads as bison.
