And now for something entirely different...
In my span I have hunted all the Western Provinces, the Arctic, most of Western US and multiple trips to Africa.
As a consequence, there is damn little I have not chowed down on.
One exception has been Water Buffalo.
Recently a Buddy informed me of a ranch that grows them rather close to my home.
So yesterday I saddled up and wandered over to have a look.
Ended up dragging home a nice chunk of Water Buffalo Tenderloin (surprisingly at a cost less than supermarket beef).
Only lightly seasoned with garlic and Montreal Steak spice over a light brush of avo oil (I wanted to taste the meat!) and tossed on the BarBee:
Quickly seared to just a tad more rare than medium rare, then matched up with Butternut off the BarBee and fresh Corn on the cob:
This was an OMG moment for me!
The flavor was like a cross between the latest moose I shot, and Eland (my favorite African Antelope in terms of table-fare)!
Very tender, very juicy, while something of a finer grain than I would have expected.
Truly Delicious!
I will be heading back to that ranch in the near future...
Not every day I find something new that I really like.
In this case that proved to be very much so!
Cheers
