Grilled bison skirt steak skewers with zesty garlic-oregano marinade, served with creamy cucumber-yogurt sauce.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 pounds bison skirt steak
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 teaspoons finely shredded lemon zest
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 25 to 30 6- to 8-inch skewers*
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup peeled, seeded, and diced cucumber
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
  • 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
  • Slice the bison skirt steak against the grain into 1-inch wide strips, then place them in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow bowl.
  • Create the marinade by mixing oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, 3 cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon of salt, oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a small bowl. Pour the marinade over the bison strips in a bag, seal it, and ensure the bison is well coated. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, remembering to rotate the bag occasionally.
  • Pat dry the bison strips and remove excess marinade. Skewer the bison strips accordion-style, adjusting the size as needed.
  • For tender bison skewers, grill them on a covered charcoal or gas grill over medium heat for 4 to 6 minutes, flipping once. Alternatively, broil the skewers on the unheated rack of a broiler pan, positioned 3 to 4 inches from the heat, for 5 to 7 minutes, turning once. Don't forget to enjoy with a side of refreshing Yogurt-Cucumber Sauce.
  • Mix together Greek yogurt, fresh cucumber, green onion, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a touch of pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate until serving time.
