Ingredients

  • 20 oz (2 packages) Bison Strip Steaks - pat dry
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter - softened
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped shallot
  • 1 tablespoon chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine butter, shallot, parsley, thyme, rosemary, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and stir to combine. Gently roll butter mixture into 4 balls. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, rub both sides of the steaks with olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

  3. Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking, about 2 to 3 minutes. Place the steak in the pan and let it cook undisturbed until a dark crust forms on the bottom, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  4. Flip the steak using tongs and cook until medium, about 4 to 6 minutes more. Cook 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  5. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Slice each steak in half crosswise and top with the compound butter. Let it melt slightly before serving.
  6. Suggested sides: Roasted vegetables, rosemary and olive oil baked potatoes, side salad.
