Embrace the flavors of spring with this delightful recipe for Charcoal Grilled Bison Skirt Steak accompanied by a vibrant and zesty Spring-inspired Chimichurri sauce. The lean and tender bison steak, infused with the smoky aroma of charcoal grilling, perfectly complements the bright and herbaceous notes of the chimichurri. Get ready to indulge in a sensational culinary experience that celebrates the freshness of the season!
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)
Spring Inspired Argentinian Chimichurri Sauce
Combine to form an oily, herbaceous sauce! Have lots of roasted potatoes or grilled bread around for soaking up the extra!
