Instructions
- Prep: Heat oven to 425°F. Pat bison dry; season generously with salt and pepper. Cut potatoes into chunks; cut broccoli into florets (peel/slice stems so they roast evenly).
- Roast potatoes: Toss potatoes (and optional onion) with 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper. Spread on a sheet pan. Roast 20 minutes.
- Add broccoli: Toss broccoli with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper (and optional smashed garlic clove). Add to the same pan, turning potatoes. Roast 12–15 minutes more until potatoes are crisp-tender and broccoli has browned edges.
- Make chimichurri: Finely chop parsley and oregano. Stir with minced garlic, red pepper flakes, vinegar, and 3 tbsp olive oil. Taste and adjust salt/acid.
- Sear bison (stove): Heat a skillet over medium-high until very hot. Add a small slick of oil. Sear steak 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare (bison is lean—don’t overcook). Rest 5 minutes.
- Serve: Slice steak against the grain. Spoon chimichurri over. Plate with roasted potatoes and broccoli.
Health notes: ~750–850 calories per serving (depends on steak size and oil). High-protein, iron-rich; lots of fiber and micronutrients from broccoli. Chimichurri adds healthy fats—go lighter on oil if you want to trim calories.
Drink pairing: Wine: Washington State Syrah (e.g., Chateau Ste. Michelle Syrah) or a WA Cabernet blend. Beer: a hoppy NW IPA.
