Smoke Roasted Top Round of Bison
- 3 pounds buffalo meat top round cut
- 24 ounces beer, dark
- 1/4 cup soy sauce, tamari low sodium
- 2 ounces balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon red hot pepper sauce
- 3 chunks hardwood ashes soaked overnight
- In a large bowl mix all of the wet and dry ingredients.
- Place Buffalo in bowl and cover.
- Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 72 hours.
- Remove Buffalo from fridge and pat dry with paper towels prior to placing on the grill, leave on counter at room temperature while fire is being prepared.
- Place charcoal in a pyramid shape and light with either lighter fluid, electric starter or chimney starter.
- When the coals turn gray place them to one side of the grill.
- Add an additional 12 to 15 briquettes to the hot coals.
- The Buffalo will be cooked using the indirect method.
- Place an aluminum pan filled with hot water next to the coals.
- Spray the grid with a non-stick spray and let grid heat over the hot coals.
- Place the meat above the water pan on the heated grid.
- At this time add one of the wood chunks.
- Cover the grill, place bottom vents 3/4 open and top cover vent 1/2 open.
- You will need to add lit charcoal to the hot coals, approximately 8 to 12 briquettes every hour, so using a chimney starter would work best for this.
- At that time you can also add another chunk of wood.
- Use wood in moderation, a nice even smoky flavor will enhance the meat and not over power it!
- Cook for approximately 2 1/4 hours or 45 minutes per pound.
- The cooking temperature should be about 275 degrees.
- This method of indirect cooking this particular recipe has a purpose.
- A Buffalo cooked in this manner will transform the finished product into a very tender, smoky and succulent entree.
- Remove the Buffalo and let sit for 20 minutes prior to slicing.
