Rare Bison - Grilled and Black Garlic Reduction Special

Hey Food Lovers,

Oh boy, do I have something special for you today! Picture this: a sunny afternoon, the smell of sizzling meat wafting through the air, and you plating up a dish that’s not only mouthwatering but also insanely healthy. Yep, today we’re diving into the world of Rare Bison—Grilled to perfection and topped with a Black Garlic Reduction. This is one of those *Healthy Food Recipes* you’ll want to make on repeat!

Now, before we jump in, let’s chat a bit. Have you ever tried bison meat? If not, you’re in for a treat! Bison is leaner than beef, packed with nutrients, and has this rich, slightly sweet flavor that’s oh-so-good. And black garlic? It’s like regular garlic’s cooler, mysterious cousin—fermented until it turns soft, sweet, and slightly tangy. Together, they make magic.

Let’s get grilling, shall we?

### Ingredients
For the Bison:
– 1 pound bison steak (ribeye or sirloin works great)
– Olive oil (for brushing)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional, but recommended)

For the Black Garlic Reduction:
– 4-5 cloves black garlic, mashed
– 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
– 1/2 cup beef broth (low sodium if possible)
– 1 tablespoon honey
– A pinch of salt

### Step-by-Step Instructions

#### Step 1: Prepping the Bison
1. **Bring to Room Temp**: Take your bison steak out of the fridge about 30 minutes before you plan to grill. Letting it come to room temperature helps it cook evenly.

2. **Season Generously**: Brush the steak with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. If you’re feeling fancy, throw in some fresh rosemary or thyme. Trust me, it adds a fantastic aroma.

#### Step 2: Grilling
1. **Heat the Grill**: Preheat your grill to high heat. You want it nice and hot to get a good sear.

2. **Grill Time**: Place the bison on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for rare. Since bison is lean, it cooks quicker than beef, so stay close and keep an eye on it!

3. **Rest**: Once grilled to your desired doneness, let the steak rest for about 5-10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, making it oh-so-tender.

#### Step 3: Black Garlic Reduction
1. **Mash the Garlic**: In a small saucepan, mash the black garlic cloves with a fork.

2. **Combine Ingredients**: Add the balsamic vinegar, beef broth, honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir it all together.

3. **Simmer**: Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and let it reduce by half. This should take about 10-15 minutes. The result is a thick, glossy, deeply flavorful reduction.

#### Step 4: Putting It All Together
1. **Slice the Bison**: Slice the rested bison steak against the grain. This keeps it tender and easier to chew.

2. **Drizzle the Reduction**: Arrange the slices on a plate and drizzle with the black garlic reduction.

3. **Serve and Enjoy**: Serve immediately and bask in the glory of mastering one of the most delicious *Healthy Food Recipes* ever. Pair with a simple side salad or some roasted veggies, and you’re golden.
