2  Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
2  Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
2  Tablespoons Olive Oil
2  Tablespoons Soy Sauce
2  Tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 Teaspoon ground black pepper
1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
20 cloves garlic, finely chopped
pinch thyme if desired

Whisk together and marinade. Put steaks into mixture and coat. Allow to marinate for about an hour in the refrigerator in a plastic sealed bag or covered dish.  Grill or broil until rare to medium rare. (Best not to overcook bison steaks or they will be tough.)

Ingredients
1/4 cup coarsely crushed black peppercorns
4 (6 ounce) buffalo tenderloin filets, 1 1/2 inches thick
salt to taste
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/3 cup beef broth
1 cup heavy cream

Directions
1. Place the peppercorns into a shallow bowl. Sprinkle the bison tenderloin filets with salt on both sides, and coat both sides with crushed peppercorns.
2. Melt the butter with the olive oil over high heat in a heavy skillet (not nonstick) until the foam disappears from the butter.
3. Gently place the steaks in the pan, and cook until they start to become firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 3 1/2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F.
4. Remove the steaks to platter, and cover tightly with foil.
5. Pour the beef broth into the skillet, and use a whisk to stir the broth and scrape up any dissolved brown flavor bits from the skillet.
6. Whisk in the cream, and simmer the sauce until it’s reduced and thickened, 6 to 7 minutes.
7. Place the steaks back in the skillet, turn to coat with sauce, and serve with the remaining sauce.

Ingredients
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 clove garlic, thickly sliced
1 1/2 pounds bison flank steak (London broil)
1 1/2 cups white rice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
8 scallions, ends trimmed
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions
1. In a large skillet, stir together the soy sauce, sugar, and garlic until the sugar dissolves. Rinse the meat, pat dry with a paper towel, and place in the skillet, turning to coat. Let marinate for 20 minutes, turning once more.
2. Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the package directions.
3. Adjust rack to upper third of oven and turn on broiler. Transfer bison meat to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, reserving the marinade in the skillet. Sprinkle the bison meat with the pepper and broil, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
4. Transfer the buffalo meat to a cutting board. Let sit for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
5. Meanwhile, place the skillet over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Add the scallions, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 2 minutes.
6. Divide the rice among 4 plates, arrange the buffalo meat on top, spoon the scallions and sauce over it, and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

This marinade will produce the most tender and not to mention the best tasting bison steak. It’s enough for up to four steaks about 1-1/2-inches thick–just remember to bring the steaks to almost room temperature before grilling. This will relax the meat fibers, making for a more tender, juicy steak.

The amounts may be doubled but keep the garlic the same.  Do not add any salt to the marinade and do not salt the meat until ready to grill. This marinade may be used for any cut of steaks.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic (6 large cloves)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/3 cup oil (can use sunflower, olive, or vegetable oil)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)

Directions

1. Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Pour over steaks.
3. Cover tightly and place the steaks in the refrigerator for minimum 4 hours or (even better) for 24 hours.
4. Remove the steaks from the fridge.
5. Bring the steaks up to almost room temperature before grilling.
6. Season steaks with steak seasoning or seasoning of choice, if desired.
7. Grill for 6-12 minutes turning 3-4 times or until desired doneness.
8. Before serving let the steak rest for 5 to 10 minutes after removal from grill. This gives it time to reabsorb moisture.

Ingredients for the Horseradish Salsa

3 medium (about 1 pound) ripe tomatoes, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1/2 small red onion, minced
2 tablespoons prepared white horseradish
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Ingredients for the Buffalo Filet Steaks

1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 clove garlic, crushed with garlic press
4  buffalo filet steaks

Directions

1. To prepare horseradish salsa: In medium bowl, stir all salsa ingredients; set aside, or cover and refrigerate if not serving right away. Makes about 2 cups.

2. To prepare bison tenderloin steaks: In cup, mix pepper, olive oil, salt, thyme, and garlic. Rub pepper mixture all over filet steaks. Place buffalo steaks on grill over medium heat and cook 10 to 12 minutes for medium-rare or until of desired doneness, turning steaks over once. Serve bison filet steaks with horseradish salsa.

Dressing:
1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup canola oil

12 Butter lettuce leaves
2 T. sesame seeds
4 portions assorted baby greens
4 sprigs fresh mint
4 1/2 oz. Bison buffalo steak
2 tbsp. cilantro, chopped

 Directions

Prepare dressing and set to the side. Slice the bison steak into thin medallions and marinate in the dressing for at least 2 hours. Drain marinade and reserve. Sear the buffalo steak medallions very briefly if you prefer the buffalo meat partially cooked and chill for 2-3 minutes.

Arrange butter leaves on plates. Top the butter leaves with the baby greens and lay the bison steak medallions on top of the greens. Drizzle with the reserved dressing. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped cilantro. Garnish with sprig of mint.
