Buffalo Steak Marinade Recipes

THE BEST STEAK MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

ROSEMARY MARINADE FOR BUFFALO STEAKS

Steps:

• Whisk together all the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Arrange the buffalo steaks in a shallow dish or plastic container, pour the marinade over them, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours. The lemon tenderizes the meat, and adds great flavor. Buffalo steaks tend to have a "tang" to them. The rosemary is so powerful that it infuses a great flavor to the meat. Grill or broil buffalo steaks to desired doneness.;

BUFFALO FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Mix all marinade ingredients. Marinate flank steak for four to six hours, refrigerated.
• Place buffalo flank on hot grill and cook to medium rare.
• In a medium saute pan over medium heat add oil and saute the peppers and onions. Keep warm and set aside. Place flour tortillas on the grill and heat until warm. Fold the tortillas and lay them on the plate. Place the meat just off the side and top with the sauteed peppers. Place one tablespoon of the Goat Cheese Guacamole on top of the flank steak.
• Puree all ingredients in food processor.

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.

MARINATED BISON/BUFFALO STEAKS WITH A PEPPERCORN SAUCE

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.
