Let's fire up the grill and dive into the art of cooking a Bison Strip Steak that promises to tantalize your taste buds and elevate your grilling game.

Ingredients

1 Bison Strip Steak
Killer Hogs TX Seasoning
2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
Cast Iron Pan
Pellet Tube w/ pellets

Instructions

Preparation

Take the bison strip steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30-45 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
Preheat your Weber gas grill to a high (550 F) temperature for a strong, searing heat. While the grill is heating, fill the pellet tube with your favorite wood pellets, place it in the grill, and ignite to start smoking.

Seasoning the Steak

Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps get a better sear.
Generously season the bison steak on both sides with Killer Hogs TX Seasoning. The seasoning’s unique blend will complement the rich flavors of the bison.

Searing the Steak

Place your cast iron pan on the grill to heat up for a few minutes. You want the pan to be very hot to sear the steak effectively.
Once the pan is hot, add the unsalted butter and let it melt.
Place the seasoned bison steak in the pan. Sear it for about 2-3 minutes on each side. The goal is to develop a rich, brown crust for amazing flavor and texture.
Cook the steak on the grill, flipping once, until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 130°F.

Resting the Steak

Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a moist and flavorful steak.

Notes

Slice the steak against the grain for tenderness.

Remember, bison meat cooks faster than beef, so keep a close eye on it.

Additional Tips

Resting Time: Let the bison steak rest for at least 10 minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.
Consistent Searing: Ensure your cast iron pan is very hot before adding the steak to achieve a perfect sear.
Butter Baste: For extra flavor, baste the steak with melted butter while searing.

And there you have it – a perfectly grilled Bison Strip Steak seasoned with Killer Hogs TX and seared to perfection. This recipe brings out the rich, unique flavors of bison, offering a delicious alternative to traditional beef. Whether you’re hosting a cookout or enjoying a special meal, this steak is sure to impress.
