BISON STEAK AU POIVRE WITH RED WINE SHALLOT MARMALADE

Steps:

• Combine the ground peppercorns and salt and liberally coat the bison steaks.
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan on medium-high heat melt the butter with the oil and sugar. Add the shallots and caramelize them for 10 minutes. Add the wine, turn down the heat to a simmer and reduce liquid to 1/4 of its original amount. Remove from heat. Add thyme and season.
• On a hot grill, cook the steaks to the desired doneness.
• To serve, top each of the steaks with a spoonful of the shallot marmalade. The marmalade can be hot, warm or room temperature.

MARINATED BISON/BUFFALO STEAKS WITH SAUCE

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.

BISON SOUVLAKI SKEWERS

Steps:

• Cut bison skirt steak across the grain into 1-inch wide strips. Place bison strips in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow bowl.
• For marinade, combine oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, the 3 cloves garlic, the 1 teaspoon salt, the oregano, and the 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Pour marinade over bison strips. Seal bag; turn to coat bison strips. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, turning bag occasionally.
• Drain bison strips; discard marinade. Thread bison strips accordion-style onto skewers, trimming as necessary.
• For a charcoal or gas grill, place bison skewers on the rack of a covered grill directly over medium heat. Grill for 4 to 6 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling. (Or place skewers on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil for 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 5 to 7 minutes, turning once.) Serve with Yogurt-Cucumber Sauce.
• Yogurt-Cucumber Sauce: Combine yogurt, cucumber, green onion, the 2 cloves minced garlic, the 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
