Meat
Topside
Bison topside is a butchered form used in ranch and restaurant cookery—leaner red meat than typical beef equivalents, with a clean, slightly sweet flavour. Match method to collagen: quick sear for tender steaks, long moist heat for hard-working muscles. Season simply; avoid overcooking lean pieces. Keep cold-chain tight from reputable game or ranch suppliers.
