Ingredients
- 4 bison steaks (about 6 oz each)
- 1 medium green cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro) for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk vigorously until well combined.
- Marinate the Bison: Place the bison steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Rub the marinade into the steaks to ensure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Prepare the Coconut Cabbage Slaw: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced cabbage and coconut milk. Toss gently until the cabbage is well coated. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and let it sit for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Grill the Bison Steaks: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated bison steaks on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your preferred doneness. Remove from the grill and let the steaks rest for a few minutes.
- Serve: Slice the grilled bison steaks against the grain. Arrange the slices on a serving platter. Top with a generous portion of coconut cabbage slaw. Garnish with fresh herbs for a burst of color and flavor.
Enjoy this vibrant and healthy Mediterranean dish with your family. The combination of tender grilled bison and creamy coconut cabbage slaw is sure to be a hit, making mealtime both delicious and nutritious. Happy cooking and bon appétit!
