Buffalo
Best to Buy
Fresh, quality buffalo is deep red in color with no marbling of fat.
Prep & Store
Refrigerate buffalo in its original wrapping, over-wrapped with foil, for no more than two days for small cuts, four days for large cuts.
Tasty Tip
The secret to delicious buffalo is to not overcook it. Buffalo cooks about one-third faster than beef. When adapting beef recipes, cook buffalo at a lower temperature, to medium or medium rare.
