Equipment

  • Grill
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Basting Brush
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Small Saucepan
  • Tongs
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Platter
  • Bowl for Herb Butter

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt

Instructions

Marination Magic

  • Whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
  • Coat the bison sirloin steaks with this mixture. Let them hang out in the fridge for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to mingle.

Grill Time

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Take the marinated steaks out of the fridge and let them rest while the grill gets ready.
  • Grill the steaks for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness.

Balsamic Brilliance

  • While the steaks are grilling, mix balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan.
  • Simmer over low heat until the glaze thickens.

Glazing Glory

  • During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the balsamic glaze generously onto each side of the steaks. Let it caramelize for that extra flavor kick.

Rest and Serve

  • Remove the bison sirloin steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
  • Slice against the grain, drizzle any remaining glaze, and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

  1. Bison Cut Matters:
    • Choose quality bison sirloin steaks for the best flavor and tenderness. Look for well-marbled cuts if available.
  2. Marination Patience:
    • While 1 hour is the minimum marination time, allowing the bison to marinate for a longer period, even overnight, intensifies the flavors.
  3. Grilling Precision:
    • Keep a watchful eye on grilling times. Bison cooks quickly; aim for medium-rare for optimum juiciness.
  4. Savor the Caramelization:
    • The last few minutes of grilling, when the balsamic glaze is applied, create a delightful caramelized finish. Don't rush this step.
  5. Resting Ritual:
    • Let the grilled bison sirloin steaks rest before slicing. This ensures juices redistribute, keeping the meat succulent.
