Charcoal Grilled Bison Skirt Steak with Spring Inspired Chimichurri

- 1 ½ lbs Buffalo Skirt Steak

- Marinate overnight with 1/4 cup of good olive oil, a couple of sprigs of thyme, 4 garlic cloves, 1/4 jalapeño sliced, and 6 whole scallions. Dry toast all the ingredients(not the steak or olive oil!) in a skillet to really wake up the aromatics, then transfer to an appropriate size dish, add olive and the bison skirt steak. Wrap, refrigerate and marinate overnight.

- When ready to grill, heat your grill (in this case a charcoal kettle grill) until it’s hot, real hot! We’ll be cooking this thin steak hot and quick!

- Pull the marinated steak out of the refrigerator and bring to room temperature. Wipe off excess marinade.

- Season the steak liberally with good sea salt, that’s it!

- Cook over the hot coals until desired doneness (we recommend medium and under). Rest the steak for at least 5 minutes. Carve against the grain with a sharp knife.

- Transfer to a warm platter and liberally sauce with the Spring Inspired Chimichurri (recipe to follow)
