MARINATED BISON/BUFFALO STEAKS WITH A PEPPERCORN SAUCE



Marinated Bison/Buffalo Steaks With a Peppercorn Sauce image

I adore bison, it so low in fat and good for you and has a wonderful taste. This recipe has a wonderful tangy taste from the marinade mixed in with the pepper that comes through from the sauce. I served mine over buttery mushrooms and topped the steaks with asparagus wrapped in bacon.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 buffalo steaks (could use a less expensive cut.)
1 (330 ml) bottle brown beer
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
5 tablespoons lime juice, fresh
1 red onion, coarsely chopped
6 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1/2 teaspoon tabasco brand pepper sauce
1/2 cup white wine
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh coarse ground black pepper (Makes the sauce very peppery, add less if you want.)
2 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon granules
1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
1 teaspoon cornflour, heaped
1/2 cup whipping cream

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.

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Thai fish sauce
6 sprigs fresh thyme
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
pepper
olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon granules, concentrated (powder, cube, past etc.. I use a very dense stock so you may have to adjust amount depending on what)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornflour

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:

  • Choose high-quality bison steaks: Look for steaks that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the steaks are tender and flavorful.
  • Marinate the steaks for at least 4 hours: This will help to tenderize the steaks and infuse them with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple combination of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices is always a good choice.
  • Cook the steaks over medium heat: This will help to prevent the steaks from becoming tough. Cook the steaks for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
  • Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steaks, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the steaks with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for bison steaks include grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Marinated bison steaks are a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and tender steak that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a new steak recipe, give marinated bison steaks a try. You won't be disappointed!
