Directions
- Add all the ingredients for the marinade/dressing to a bowl, and whisk to combine.
- Pierce the steak all over with a fork. Place the steak in a sealable freezer bag. Take 1/4 cup of the marinade and drizzle it over the steak. Close the bag, and refrigerate for 8-12 hours (overnight).
- Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towel. Discard remaining marinade.
- Preheat grill to medium high heat (400-425°F). Grill steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until an instant read thermometer reflects your preferred level of doneness. For best results, do not cook past medium, as bison is a lean meat.
- Allow to rest for 5-6 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
- To serve: start by adding the melon balls to two plates. Divide the jalapeño, feta cheese, radishes, pea shoots, and mint leaves between both plates. Top with sliced steak, and drizzle some of the dressing over top both salads. Serve immediately.
