Grilled Bison Steaks with Rosemary Garlic Butter

Ingredients:

• 2 bison steaks (6 ounces each, about 1-inch thick)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions:

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 450°F).
2. Pat bison steaks dry with paper towels and brush both sides with olive oil.
3. Season steaks evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.
4. Place steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning once. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130°F.
5. While steaks are grilling, combine softened butter, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix well.
6. Remove steaks from grill and let rest on a plate for 5 minutes.
7. Top each steak with a dollop of rosemary garlic butter while still warm so it melts over the meat.
8. Serve immediately with your choice of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
