Equipment
Ingredients
  
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 bison sirloin steaks, 1 - inch thick
  • lemon juice, 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, coarse ground
  • 2-4 tablespoons peppercorn steak rub
Instructions
 
  • Combine the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl or dish. Place steaks in the marinade ingredients, coat, and cover. Set them aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Adjust the burners to high heat for 10 minutes to preheat the grill to 400°F (204°C).
  • Remove the bison steaks from the marinade and pat them dry. Add the peppercorn steak rub into a plate and press the steaks into the rub to coat.
  • Add the bison to the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip and sprinkle more peppercorn rub, then cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let the meat rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Expert Tips: 
  • For juicy steak, consider aging the bison meat days before preparing it by salting the fillets on both sides and letting it rest in the fridge to help the proteins loosen up.
  • Let the steaks come to room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling for better browning and even cooking.
  • Marinate the steaks for at least 30 minutes, but pat them dry with a paper towel before applying the steak seasoning.
  • Because bison is lean meat and lacks fat marbling, sear the steaks in a hot grill to lock the moisture in. 
  • Grill the bison steaks from rare to medium for the best results. Overcooked bison is tough, and no one wants that! The best way to ensure your bison steaks are cooking to your preferred doneness is to use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steaks.
