Grilled Bison Ribeye Steaks are tender, juicy, and packed with rich, meaty flavor. Naturally lean and high in protein, these ribeyes sear beautifully on the grill, delivering a smoky crust and perfectly cooked interior. Simple seasonings let the clean, hearty taste of bison shine through.

Ingredients

  • 2–4 bison ribeye steaks (1 to 1½ inches thick)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 tbsp butter (optional, for finishing)
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Remove the bison ribeye steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling to bring them to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if using.
  3. Preheat the grill to high heat (about 500°F/260°C) and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130–135°F (54–57°C).
  5. Transfer steaks to a plate and rest for 5–10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
  6. Top with butter and fresh herbs, then slice against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Avoid overcooking bison—its lean nature can make it dry if cooked past medium.
  • For an indoor option, sear in a cast iron skillet over high heat with a touch of oil.
  • Letting the meat rest is key to keeping it juicy.
  • Try a garlic-herb compound butter for extra richness.
  • Best served with roasted vegetables, baked potatoes, or a crisp salad.
