Buffalo New York Steak
Buffalo New York Steak
Raised by Durham Ranch — pasture-raised, no added hormones or antibiotics
How does that work?
This is the same way you have always been charged at our counter — the scale decides, not the sticker. The released amount usually clears your statement within one to five business days, depending on your bank.
Picking up? Same thing — we hold, then charge what your order weighed. You will not be asked to pay again at the counter.
Buffalo strip. Leaner than beef, and cleaner tasting than you would expect.
American bison is significantly leaner than beef with a slightly sweeter, less fatty flavour — not gamey, which is the thing most people are worried about. Because it is lean it cooks noticeably faster, and that catches people out.
How to cook it — Pan or grill, quick
A third less time than the same steak in beef — about 3 minutes a side for medium-rare. Do not go past medium-rare; there is no fat to protect it. Rest eight minutes.
Good to know
- $34.99 per pound. Cut to 0.5–0.688 lb, about 0.59 lb typical
- Raised by Durham Ranch on open Wyoming pastures — no added hormones or antibiotics. Frozen at peak and vacuum sealed; thaw in the fridge the day before
- Butcher Trimmed™ — cap fat and silverskin removed by hand, so what you pay for is what you eat
- Cut fresh at 700 Atlantic Street, Roseville — never pre-packed
- Vacuum sealed the morning it leaves
You pay for what you actually get
Everything here is cut by hand, so no two pieces weigh the same. This is the same way you have always been charged at our counter — the scale decides, not the sticker.
When you order online we place a hold on your card for the top of the weight range shown above. Nothing is charged yet. Once your order is cut and weighed we charge the actual weight, and the rest of the hold is released back to you the same day. It usually clears your statement within one to five business days, depending on your bank.
You are never charged more than the hold, and you are never charged for meat you did not receive.
Picking up? Pay at the counter
Choose pickup at checkout and we take no payment online at all. We cut your order, weigh it on the same scale we have always used, and you pay the exact amount when you collect it. Nothing held, nothing released.
How it gets to you
Pickup at the counter, usually ready in two hours. Local delivery is free over $89. Shipping is free over $149 in the West and over $249 everywhere else in the lower 48. Boxes go out Monday through Thursday to the West and Monday through Wednesday everywhere else, packed in an insulated box with gel packs so it arrives cold.
Family-owned at the same address since 1946.

Questions: 916.782.2705
Every cut cooks differently. Steaks want high heat and a rest before cutting. Roasts want low and slow. Fish wants less time than you think.
Our step-by-step guides are under Learn: Cooking Methods covers the six ways to cook beef and which cuts suit each, and Cooking Directions has times and temperatures for the most-asked cuts, including poultry, lamb and seafood.
Not sure? Ask at the counter or call 916.782.2705. Someone who cut it will answer.
Every order is cut, vacuum sealed and packed the day it leaves. Shipped orders go in an insulated box with gel packs and travel Monday to Thursday in the seven Western states and Monday to Wednesday everywhere else, so nothing sits over a weekend. Local orders ride in our own van the same day.
