Summertime is here and that means grilling season, and we've got the ultimate secret to perfecting your Jackson Hole Buffalo Meat Co. Elk meat steak or Buffalo meat steak: the Two-Zone Fire đ„!
 
What is two-zone fire cooking? This technique involves heating one side of your grill to be very hot while keeping the other side unheated, or without fire. Whether you're using live coals or a gas grill, this method provides great versatility. It allows you to achieve a nicely charred and caramelized crust on your steak on the hot side, while the unheated side is perfect for controlling flare-ups and preventing overcooking or burning.
 The indirect heat from the cool side will allow you to finish cooking thicker cuts of meat, like this 12oz. Elk T-Bone, without the potential for burning that can, and very likely will occur over the direct, high heat
Because elk and bison meat are so lean, we recommend only cooking steaks to rare or medium rare to retain maximum flavor and juiciness. Using a very hot bed of coals placed close to the grill grates ensures the meat cooks quickly, sealing in the juices without drying it out. Carefully monitoring your steaks during this process is essential, and keeping a squirt bottle handy to manage any flare-ups is a great idea!Â
