Coffee Rub Bison Sirloin

Ingredients

  • Bison sirloin steak (try it will a ribeye, t-bone, strip or even a tomahawk!)
  • 2 TB chipotle chile powder
  • 2 TB ground coffee beans (I used Airship Coffee’s Buffalo Blend)
  • 1 TB smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 2  tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tsp mustard powder
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

Corn Coulis

  • 1 TB butter
  • 1 TB olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 ½ cups corn kernels (~3 ears or 2 small cans drained)
  • ½ cup coconut cream
  • 4 fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 2 TB chopped chives

Directions

  1. Mix all the steak rub ingredients and set aside while preparing grill.

  2. Make corn coulis by combining oil and butter in a small pan and sauteing the garlic. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Use an immersion blender to turn into a sauce.
  3. Cover steak in rub and grill to your preferred doneness - for bison we recommend pulling all steaks at or below 135 degrees, the temperature will continue to rise while resting.

  4. Serve steak with corn coulis
