Bison Steaks and Grilled Zucchini

It is safe to say that my recipes aren't gourmet by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, most of my stuff is throw it together, heat, and eat. That's how I roll.

I work full-time with an hour commute each way (at least!), have a family to spend time with at home, and a rigorous workout schedule that has me at the gym or on the trails for, at minimum 1.5 hours a day, 5 to 6 days per week. I have to have easy, simple recipes to make and follow, otherwise, I am not going to stick with it.

Costco started selling Bison in the last few weeks and John and I picked up a package of their frozen Bison steaks. Way WAY cheaper than the game butcher that we have been going to. We took the Bison out of the freeze on Friday night and lightly coated each steak (4) with olive oil and steak seasoning and threw them in a freezer bag with balsamic vinegar. I did the same with sliced rounds of zucchini. Check out the size of these from my neighbor's garden!! Ignore the cucumbers...they have nothing to do with this meal. :)


On Sunday, late afternoon, the steaks and veggies were ready to be grilled. Careful cooking Bison, it cooks differently than beef because there is very little fat in it. It is best served med-rare as anything more than that will leave you with a dry hunk of meat. John cooked it perfectly. I could seriously make a meal out of just the zucchini. It was wonderful.

As a side, I picked up some ready-made couscous salad (all natural, very few ingredients) from Costco. You can find this near the hummus, dips, and refrigerated soups if your are a Costco member.

Delicious Sunday dinner.
