Instructions
- Prep: Pat bison dry; season with salt and pepper. Slice cucumber. Chop romaine. Chop dill. Halve or quarter the beets if large.
- Make quick dressing: Whisk 2 tbsp olive oil + lemon juice (or vinegar) + Dijon + a pinch of salt and pepper + honey/maple (optional).
- Grill steak: Preheat grill (or grill pan on stove) to medium-high. Grill bison ribeye about 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (aim ~130–135°F). Rest 5–8 minutes before slicing.
- Blister shishitos: While steak rests, toss shishitos with 1/2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Grill 3–5 minutes total, turning until blistered and lightly charred. Finish with pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Warm beet salad (stove): In a small skillet over medium, add a drizzle of olive oil (or a spoon of the dressing) and warm the beets 2–3 minutes. Toss with half the dill and a spoon of dressing.
- Assemble: Toss romaine and cucumber with remaining dressing and dill. Plate salad and warm beets. Slice bison across the grain and serve with blistered shishitos.
Health notes: ~600–750 calories/person. Healthiness: Medium-High—leaner red meat than many cuts, lots of veg; go easy on oil/butter to keep it lighter.
Drink pairing: Washington Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley is nearby too) or a WA Cabernet Franc; beer: a crisp pilsner works great with shishitos.
