Perfect place for healthy meats. I've placed several repeated orders for multiple products. All their produce taste amazing and far exceeds anything one can buy in a supermarket (not to mention absence of antibiotics and that the live stock is grass fed). One can clearly taste the difference: Rocky Mountain Elk Tomahawk Steak - a delicious lean steak. Easy to BBQ, doesn't taste gamy like some other meats do. Quick to prepare, doesn't need anything other than a little salt and pepper. Definitely one of our favorites.
Beef Bratwurst - the taste was amazing. Great with mashed, backed or roasted potatoes, some sauerkraut. Lean, juicy and has a great flavor. Will definitely be purchasing again.
Soy-Free Smoked Pork Shoulder Bacon - the best tasting bacon. Had some guests and served the shoulder bacon. We ran out the same day, everyone wanted seconds. It was very delicious, still juicy, not drowning in fat like most bacons. Quick to fry, just the right amount of salty.
Rocky Mountain Elk Summer Sausage - this is our second order of the Elk sausage. Itās very lean, not too spicy, flavorful and delicious. Great for breakfast or lunch.
Beef New York Strip Steak - I got a large piece and used half for a dish with rice and another for steak. Both tasted phenomenal. The rice dish was pretty fast to make when the meat was cut in small pieces. The steak didn't take long either. Lean, juicy and delicious.
Beef Bone Broth Tallow - best way to have a healthy meal, natural fats, tastes great, lasts long if refrigerated. Adds juiciness to the meal, smells good, tastes delicious. Better than using oils for cooking.
Just a final note, the customer service is fantastic. Their turnaround is speedy, very professional and friendly. A real pleasure. The produce ships in good safe packaging, everything arrived in tact. Many thanks to the Northstar Bison, a real gem...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI purchased the Bison sampler and the Rocky Mountain Elk sampler. Both were delivered right on time, with the meat completely frozen. Instead of the elk snack sticks, I received elk jerky. The jerky was delicious. All of the meat was great quality, had excellent taste, and made meals much more enjoyable during this pandemic. My family has been unable to go to the grocery store because of COVID-19 and being able to order this meat from NorthStar Bison really helped us out. This was the first fresh meat we had in months and it was worth the wait. We also have dietary restrictions when it comes to some meats and these meat types and packs were perfect for us. Being gluten free and pork free limits some of what we can buy, but NorthStar Bison took care of us with their offerings. I will definitely be buying more meat from them because the value is excellent. They kept us safe nutritionally, kept us safe from having to go out more than necessary since they deliver, and they kept our tummies happy. We had sausage with eggs, had burgers after not having any for almost a year (and we love burgers), steaks with potatoes, and plenty of stews and soups of different varieties. These samplers really livened up our dinners.
UPDATE: Just tried the Rocky Mountain Elk Trimmings in our tacos. Amazing decision! Loved how much flavor the trimmings added and how tender the meat was. Definitely recommend this...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreLike so many other reviews, my bison order arrived rock solid in 100 degree weather. I did upgrade to 2-day delivery, but either way, it was super well packed. I'm another person with histamine intolerance, which is why I'm trying this humanely-processed and quick-frozen red meat. Northstar Bison really understands what "histamine intolerance" means. The grilled steaks were delicious. I kept them frozen, "thawed" in the frig = barely able to pierce with a fork. Then I rubbed with olive oil and forked it all over to incorporate some of that oil into the meat. It is very lean by nature. Then immediately put them on the grill next to hubby's beef steaks. Froze the second cooked bison steak immediately, and the next day re-warmed it in the microwave -- used a covered bowl with a splash of water which steamed it and it was juicy and even better than the day before!? Amazing. Thank you to Northstar, I will definitely be buying more when this order is consumed. The only other protein I've had for 6 months is eggs and individually quick-frozen chicken wings or breasts from Natural Grocers ("Mary's" brand) fro those who are on my same journey. Cook wings in the instant-pot or barely thaw and dice the breasts, then fry in a pan... I will also be trying the salmon based on a previous histamine-intolerant customer's recommendation. Thank you to everyone who makes...
