Time to buy them and try this recipe.

Of course, I also eat beef medium rare. One of my friends complains that she can't get medium rare beef in restaurants anymore because they're all worried about salmonella! I would think if you buy it from a highly reputable butcher, you're probably okay. We used to eat steak tartare, which is totally raw.

Email was banned, and I couldn't figure out why until I realized I'd left the second "i" out of shiitake so the program read it as shit-ake, one of those syllables being a no-no. I've never had bison but now I'm motivated to try it. This looks yummy.

Can you cook it to medium rare? It sounds like a great alternative to our old standby of turkey burgers (trying not to eat so much red meat). These looks great with the addition of mushrooms and onions!

I'm told that the vegetation in our area (probably the same in Kentucky, I'm in Virginia) makes for very tender, delicate meat. You're so right about it being very natural and lean. <br /><br />Shiitakes can take some getting used to.

I've had no problem with overcooking, but then, we like our meat rare (living dangerously!).

Your recipe would work equally well with that kind of meat, Krista, I think. It's also extremely low in fat and cholesterol, and tastes very similar to beef without the added antibiotics, etc. <br /><br />I have to admit that I've not tried shiitake mushrooms, so this isKaren in Ohionoreply@blogger.com
