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.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, choose a high-quality bison steak that is at least 1 inch thick.
- Before marinating, use a meat mallet to tenderize the steak, which will help the marinade penetrate more deeply.
- Feel free to experiment with different flavors in your marinade. Some popular options include garlic, onion, thyme, rosemary, and red wine.
- Allow the steak to marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight, for the best results.
- When grilling the steak, cook it over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving, which will help the juices redistribute and make the meat more tender.
