Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bison buffalo steaks
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Black peppercorns, crushed
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
- 1 quarter cup Brandy or cognac
- 1 cup Beef stock
- 1 half cup Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Additional black peppercorns, crushed
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of crushed black peppercorns, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Place the bison buffalo steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the steaks are evenly coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
When ready to cook, remove the steaks from the marinade and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is achieved. Remove the steaks from the grill, cover with foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
While the steaks are resting, prepare the peppercorn sauce. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Carefully pour in the brandy or cognac and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to cook off the alcohol.
Stir in the beef stock and let it simmer until it reduces by half, about 5 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream and 2 teaspoons of crushed black peppercorns. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce is thickened.
Serve the grilled bison buffalo steaks with the creamy peppercorn sauce drizzled over the top. Pair with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
