I would love to try it, it's suppose to be one of the best cuts from a buffalo.

Finally got to be dinner time, so got to serving myself. The girls only do cows, pigs, and chickens so bison was NOT on their list. They settled for left over lasagna out of the freezer! Sliced up nice and tender, about normal brisket thickness, and tried dipping it in the juice. Very good, and would make great sandwiches or tacos. I made some brown gravy out of the juice in the pot, and a package mix. A little prepared horseradish on the side to try with it, like prime rib, and also blended up some Hatch Chile to have on the veggies with it. Cubed up all that was left, and am already thinking of an awesome Stroganoff recipe to try it in.

Blank, I’m curious. I’ve eating four or five steaks from different buffalo, and burger etc. It was better than elk, moose, deer, antelope etc. Never eaten the hump. I’ve read many books where early hunters said they really preferred the hump to other buffalo cuts.
What’s your opinion, does the hump taste better than other buffalo cuts. If so, is it because of more fat marbling?

I have to confess that I just don't have enough experience to give an informed answer. I have eaten this hump roast now (good), and have tried steaks and burger (good too) from several that friends have shared from both WY and MT animals. The meat has been so lean that I really wouldn't say there is any "marbling". They do have the same sinew, tissue, and silver skin as deer and elk, it seems. A friend raises them here in Idaho for their own use, and they are excellent too. All have been very good, and I have never had a bad piece. My favorite is the bison chorizo I get from my friends in AZ. Yummy!!! He has a cow tag this year, so hope to get some more!!
