Ingredients

  • Simple Truth™ Natural Bison Sirloin Steak 2 steaks (6 oz each) OR 12 oz total $7.49 sale (reg $8.49)
  • Organic Lacinato Kale 1 bunch (about 6–8 oz leaves after stemming) $2.99
  • Simple Truth Organic® Fresh Grape Snacking Tomatoes 10 oz $4.79
  • Simple Truth Organic® Garlic Bulbs 3 cloves, sliced $2.79 (3 ct)
  • Organic Jumbo Red Onion (optional) 1/4 onion, thinly sliced (optional for tomatoes) $2.49/lb
  • Olive oil 2 tbsp, divided
  • Soy sauce (or Worcestershire) 1 tsp
  • Honey or brown sugar 1 tsp
  • Smoked paprika 1/2 tsp
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • Balsamic vinegar (optional) 1 tsp (for tomatoes)
  • Lemon (optional) 1/2, for kale finishing

Instructions

  1. Prep: Heat grill to medium-high. Pat bison dry. Strip kale leaves from stems; slice leaves. Halve tomatoes.
  2. Quick steak glaze: Stir 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp olive oil, and black pepper.
  3. Season steaks: Lightly salt bison (go easy—glaze has salt). Brush both sides with glaze. Let sit 5–10 minutes while grill heats.
  4. Cook tomatoes (stove): Heat a skillet over medium-high with 1 tsp olive oil. Add tomatoes (and optional red onion). Cook 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until blistered and jammy. Finish with pinch of salt and (optional) 1 tsp balsamic. Turn off heat.
  5. Grill bison: Grill 3–5 minutes per side depending on thickness for medium-rare to medium (bison is lean—avoid overcooking). Rest 5 minutes.
  6. Sauté kale (stove): In another skillet, warm remaining 2 tsp–1 tbsp olive oil over medium. Add sliced garlic; cook 30 seconds. Add kale with a pinch of salt and a splash of water. Cover 2 minutes to steam, then uncover and sauté 2–4 minutes until tender and glossy. Finish with lemon squeeze if using.
  7. Serve: Slice rested bison. Plate with garlicky kale and blistered tomatoes (spoon the pan juices over the steak).

Health notes: ~550–700 calories per serving. Healthiness: High protein and micronutrient-rich greens; relatively lean red meat (bison). Keep salt moderate and use 1 tbsp oil total to make it lighter.

Drink pairing: Pairing: WA Pinot Noir or a dry cider.
