Bison meat is redder than its beef counterpart, with a flavor similar to lean beef. We put it in a rich marinade, then cooked it on the grill for this recipe.
Ingredients
-
4
bison ribeye or beef tenderloin steaks, cut 1 inch thick (8 to 10 ounces each)
-
1/4
cup
soy sauce
-
2
tablespoons
olive oil
-
2
tablespoons
ketchup
-
2
teaspoons
snipped fresh thyme
-
1
clove garlic, minced
-
1/4
teaspoon
dry mustard
-
4
teaspoons
Montreal Steak Seasoning (McCormick®) or your favorite steak spice rub
-
8
slices
hickory-smoked bacon, partially cooked
-
Oven-Roasted Fingerling Potatoes (recipe follows)
-
Blue cheese dip or salad dressing
-
1
large
green onion, cut into thin, bias-slices
-
Fresh thyme or oregano sprig (optional)
-
Montreal Steak Seasoning (McCormick®) or your favorite steak spice rub (optional)
-
FireLake Steak Sauce® or your favorite steak sauce
Directions
- Trim silver skin from bison. (If using beef, trim fat from steak). Place meat in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
- For marinade: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, ketchup, snipped thyme, garlic and dry mustard. Pour over meat; seal bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, turning bag occasionally. Drain meat, discarding marinade. Sprinkle 4 teaspoons Montreal Spice over surface of meat; rub in with your fingers. Wrap the edge of each steak with 2 slices of partially cooked bacon, securing ends with wooden toothpicks.
- For a charcoal grill, grill steaks on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals until desired doneness, turning once halfway through grilling. Allow 10 to 12 minutes for medium-rare (145 degree F) or 12 to 15 minutes for medium doneness (160 degree F degrees ). (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place steaks on grill rack over heat. Cover; grill as above.)
- Serve steak with the Oven-Roasted Fingerling Potatoes. Top potatoes with dip or dressing and green onions. If you like, garnish steak with a thyme or oregano sprig. Serve with additional Montreal spice, if you like, and steak sauce. Makes 4 servings.
