Instructions

Prepare Herb Butter (Optional):
Mix butter with herbs, horseradish (if using), salt, and pepper. Form into a log using plastic wrap. Chill until firm.
Season the Steaks:
Pat steaks dry. Brush with olive oil and rub both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Preheat Grill:
Heat grill to high (600–700°F). Clean and oil grates.
Grill the Steaks:
Place steaks on grill. Sear for about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until internal temp reaches 130°F.
Rest & Serve:
Remove from grill. Top with herb butter if using. Tent with foil and rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Don’t overcook — bison is best at medium-rare to medium.
Swap herb butter with blue cheese butter or garlic-parsley butter.
Indoor option: Use a hot cast iron skillet for similar results.
