MARINATED BISON/BUFFALO STEAKS WITH A PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Marinated Bison/Buffalo Steaks With a Peppercorn Sauce image

I adore bison, it so low in fat and good for you and has a wonderful taste. This recipe has a wonderful tangy taste from the marinade mixed in with the pepper that comes through from the sauce. I served mine over buttery mushrooms and topped the steaks with asparagus wrapped in bacon.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

4 buffalo steaks (could use a less expensive cut.)
1 (330 ml) bottle brown beer
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
5 tablespoons lime juice, fresh
1 red onion, coarsely chopped
6 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/2 teaspoon tabasco brand pepper sauce
1/2 cup white wine
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh coarse ground black pepper (Makes the sauce very peppery, add less if you want.)
2 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
1 teaspoon cornflour, heaped
1/2 cup whipping cream

Steps:

Mix beer, sugar, lime juice, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, oil, ginger and hot pepper sauce in large bowl or storage container to blend. Place steaks in marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Bring white wine, chopped shallot and crushed peppercorns to boil in a pan, simmer until mixture is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
Add water, both the stocks and simmer until reduced to 11/2 Cups, mix a little water with the cornflour and pour into sauce, stir until mixture thickens, add cream stir to combine.
Remove steaks from marinade either BBQ or grill steaks until desired doneness. About 4 minutes a side for medium rare.
If grilling move the wrack further away from the heat than you would have it for steak and if BBQ'ing make sure heat is lower than what you would have it for a steak. Cooking times will also be less for bison than steak. Bison meat has little or no fat and should be cooked no longer than necessary or it will toughen up.
If you want to serve it over mushrooms, here are the amounts you will need.
500-600g Mushrooms, Chopped (A mixture Swiss brown, oyster, shiitake, button etc. whatever is available.).
2 Tablespoons Butter.
1 Clove garlic, crushed.
11/2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped.
In a pan, melt butter, add garlic and mushrooms cook until soft and browned, stir in parsley.
To serve place several spoonfuls of mushrooms on plate top with steak, I also topped mine with asparagus spears, and drizzle sauce over.

Categories Food & Cooking

Yield Makes about 1/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons very finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons very finely chopped fresh sage
2 tablespoons very finely chopped fresh thyme
4 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
Zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients together until well combined. Use to marinate steaks at least 2 hours and up to overnight.

Tips:

Choose high-quality bison or buffalo steaks: Look for steaks that are thick, well-marbled, and have a deep red color.
Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade helps to tenderize the steaks and infuse them with flavor. This recipe uses a combination of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and herbs.
Marinate the steaks for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours: Marinating the steaks for too long can make them tough.
Cook the steaks over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steaks, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

Marinated bison or buffalo steaks are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you grill them, pan-fry them, or bake them, these steaks are sure to please everyone at the table. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
