Well I answered ya smurf question so just couldn't resist looking at ya others! Buffalo is a strange one? I had it it once while in the US with chips and a salad but it was really expencive. I wish I'd checked my Buffalo Bill ,before ordering it!

Answer 3

I dont know about a joint but I got hold of some buffalo steaks in the summer and put them on the barbie not as nice as good ols scotish beef but tasty anyway As it tastes like beef I'd cook it like beef

Answer 4

Buffalo is like beef... except it tastes a bit gamier.... not to sure what cut a joint is.. but if it is a roast ...long and slow is the procedure..more along the lines of a pot roast... you will probably need to put a tenderizing agent on it.. it is a bit tough

personally I don't care for buffalo

Answer 5

If it is a joint of beef, then i would suggest you un roll it lay it flat, add some pepper (no salt) place under a grill and cook on one side till golden brown, turn over and do the same.

In a frying pan put a knob of butter and 3tbl spoons of oil. into this put some wild mushrooms, some peppers (1 x red/green). and fry till very well cooked.

Then add some honey and green cabage leafs (lots of spinach) when the cabage has wilted down pour over the slab of beef.

Answer 6

The buffalo has always been an important part of the Plains Indians. The meat was eaten, the skins used to make clothing and coverings for the tipis. Nothing was wasted. Even the tail was used, among other things, as a fly swatter.
