Steps:
- Combine all the marinade ingredients in a storage container or a Ziploc bag and refrigerate overnight.
- The next day remove steaks from marinade and strain marinade into a bowl and set to one side.
- Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan to a medium high heat, add steaks to pan and cook for 1 minute each side to sear. Turn heat down to medium and cook for a further 5-6 minutes a side for medium rare. ( My steaks were about 1 inch thick probably 3-4 minutes a side for 3/4 inch).
- Cook longer for more well done steaks, just remember bison meat is very lean and will toughen up if over cooked.
- For the sauce.
- Heat olive oil in a pan, add shallots and saute until soft. Add wine, vinegar, stock, sugar and reserved marinade. Cook until mixture is quite hot, mix a small amount of water to cornflour. Pour cornflour into pan and stir until mixture boils and thickens serve immediately over steaks.
- I served mine with mashed sweet potatoes and garlic buttered vegetables.
- To serve slice steaks into strips and arrange on plate and pour sauce over.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality bison steaks for the best flavor and texture.
- Choose a marinade that complements the flavor of bison, such as a marinade with herbs, spices, or citrus.
- Marinate the bison steaks for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
- When grilling bison steaks, cook them over medium-high heat for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- Let the bison steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
By following these tips, you can create delicious and flavorful bison steaks that will be a hit at your next barbecue or dinner party. Bison is a healthy and sustainable alternative to beef, and it is a great way to add variety to your meals.
