Ingredients

  • 2 Great Range Bison Steak Medallions
  • 2 teaspoons coarse salt
  • 2 teaspoons fresh cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons ghee, butter, or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prep a water bath with an immersion circulator. Heat to 120°F for rare; 130°F for medium; 140°F for well.

  2. Season the bison steak medallions generously with salt and pepper on the top, bottom and sides. Place the steaks into a vacuum baggie and seal them.

  3. Transfer the bagged steaks to the water bath. Sous vide for at least one hour – longer for a more tender steak, up to eight hours.

  4. After the water bath, remove the steaks from the baggies and pat dry gently with a paper towel. Allow to air dry for 10-15 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, heat a cast iron skillet to high heat. Add the oil then flash sear the steaks in the hot oil for 60-90 seconds per side – just long enough to create a brown, crust-like sear on the steaks.

  6. Remove the steaks from the hot pan and rest for 10-15 minutes prior to serving. Enjoy!
