What Makes Montana's Meats So Good

Montana's meats are something special, not just because they're our grub but because they're a nod to our state's proud history and commitment to doing things right. Around here, the way we prepare meat is a tradition passed down through generations, mixing a little bit of the new with a lot of the old.

Old-School Smoking

Smoking meat is a tried-and-true Montana tradition. This method, which involves letting meat soak up smoke from different kinds of wood, gives our meats a taste you can't find just anywhere. The type of wood, how long the meat smokes, and the kind of cuts all play a part in creating flavors that are just plain delicious.

Mixing in Some New

While we hold on to our traditions, we're also all about trying out new ways to cook and serve our meats. From playing around with spices and marinades to giving modern cooking methods a whirl, Montana's cooks are always looking for ways to make our good food even better.
