Yak meat should be a safe alternative to beef.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

I was intrigued about yak meat and read up about it. It turns out that both in Tibet and elsewhere in the world, yaks are often hybridized with domestic cattle. So I would check to see if the meat is from a true yak, or a hybrid. Bison meat has the same problem, as bison have been extensively crossbred with cattle.
