Creating barbecue bison sandwiches is a delicious way to enjoy the rich flavors of bison meat, complemented by your favorite barbecue sauce. This simple recipe focuses on combining shredded roast bison with barbecue sauce, served on toasted buns. Here’s how you can make it:
Ingredients
2 lbs pre-cooked bison roast, shredded
1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce (more or less to taste)
6-8 large buns, halved
Directions
Shred the Bison: Once your bison roast is cooked and has cooled enough to handle, use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
Warm the Barbecue Sauce: In a large pan over medium heat, warm the barbecue sauce. You can adjust the amount of sauce according to how saucy you prefer your sandwiches.
Combine Bison and Sauce: Add the shredded bison to the pan with the barbecue sauce. Stir well to ensure the meat is thoroughly coated with the sauce. Continue to cook for about 5-10 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Scoop a generous amount of the barbecue bison mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted bun. If using any optional toppings like coleslaw, pickles, sliced onions, or cheese, add them on top of the bison.
Serve: Cap the sandwiches with the top halves of the buns. Serve immediately while warm.
Recipe Note
For even more flavor toast the buns: While the bison mixture is warming, toast the buns. You can do this in a toaster oven, under the broiler for a minute or two (watching carefully to prevent burning), or on a grill. Toasting the buns adds a nice texture and flavor contrast to the sandwich.
