Buffalo Steaks With Pickled Corn Salad And Hottish Sauce Recipes

PICKLED CORN AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Make the brine: Combine the vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, 2 teaspoons salt and the bay leaves in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook, stirring to dissolve the sugar, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut the corn crosswise into 1-to-2-inch pieces with a serrated knife. Add to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes; transfer to a colander using a slotted spoon and rinse under cold water until cool. Add the bell pepper and celery to the boiling water and cook 2 minutes; drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
• Pack the vegetables and jalapenos into a 1-quart jar, then pour in the brine. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 1 week.

BUFFALO-STYLE SKIRT STEAK AND CORN

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the butter, hot sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; set aside.
• Grill the corn, turning often, until lightly charred, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Meanwhile, rub the steak with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes; slice.
• Spread the Buffalo butter on the corn and the steak. Top the steak with the blue cheese.

MARINATED BISON/BUFFALO STEAKS WITH A PEPPERCORN SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix beer, sugar, lime juice, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, oil, ginger and hot pepper sauce in large bowl or storage container to blend. Place steaks in marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Bring white wine, chopped shallot and crushed peppercorns to boil in a pan, simmer until mixture is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Add water, both the stocks and simmer until reduced to 11/2 Cups, mix a little water with the cornflour and pour into sauce, stir until mixture thickens, add cream stir to combine.
• Remove steaks from marinade either BBQ or grill steaks until desired doneness. About 4 minutes a side for medium rare.
• If grilling move the wrack further away from the heat than you would have it for steak and if BBQ'ing make sure heat is lower than what you would have it for a steak. Cooking times will also be less for bison than steak. Bison meat has little or no fat and should be cooked no longer than necessary or it will toughen up.
• If you want to serve it over mushrooms, here are the amounts you will need.
• 500-600g Mushrooms, Chopped (A mixture Swiss brown, oyster, shiitake, button etc. whatever is available.).
• 2 Tablespoons Butter.
• 1 Clove garlic, crushed.
• 11/2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped.
• In a pan, melt butter, add garlic and mushrooms cook until soft and browned, stir in parsley.
• To serve place several spoonfuls of mushrooms on plate top with steak, I also topped mine with asparagus spears, and drizzle sauce over.

MARINATED BISON/BUFFALO STEAKS WITH SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all the marinade ingredients in a storage container or a Ziploc bag and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day remove steaks from marinade and strain marinade into a bowl and set to one side.
• Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan to a medium high heat, add steaks to pan and cook for 1 minute each side to sear. Turn heat down to medium and cook for a further 5-6 minutes a side for medium rare. ( My steaks were about 1 inch thick probably 3-4 minutes a side for 3/4 inch).
• Cook longer for more well done steaks, just remember bison meat is very lean and will toughen up if over cooked.
• For the sauce.
• Heat olive oil in a pan, add shallots and saute until soft. Add wine, vinegar, stock, sugar and reserved marinade. Cook until mixture is quite hot, mix a small amount of water to cornflour. Pour cornflour into pan and stir until mixture boils and thickens serve immediately over steaks.
• I served mine with mashed sweet potatoes and garlic buttered vegetables.
• To serve slice steaks into strips and arrange on plate and pour sauce over.

BUFFALO CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Heat your grill to medium-high. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. (Alternatively, drop corn in a large pot of salted boiling water and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.)
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a small saucepan or skillet, melt the butter with the hot sauce over low heat (you can heat the pan right on the grill), and stir to combine. Remove pan from the heat and stir in 2 tablespoons blue cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Slather hot corn with buffalo sauce. (This gets messy, so do it on a plate or platter.) Sprinkle with the rest of the blue cheese.
