Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
  • Place the head of garlic in an aluminum plate, add a thin drizzle of olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the garlic cloves are tender and soft. Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan filled with boiling salted water, cook the potatoes for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes are extra tender with a fork. Drain, return to the saucepan then add the butter. Melt while stirring.
  • Add the milk, 4 to 5 roasted garlic cloves, smoked paprika then season with salt and pepper. Using your finest potato smasher, mash like a ninja. Keep warm.
  • Take the meat out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking, add a thin drizzle of olive oil and massage to coat. Reserve on a plate.
  • In a bowl, put the spices, season generously with salt and pepper and mix. Spread all over the steaks.
  • Preheat the barbecue to maximum power and reduce to medium power. Oil the grates.
  • Place the steaks on the grates and cook for 2 minutes. Rotate 45 degrees and continue cooking for 2 minutes.
  • Flip the bison over and repeat. Cooking 2 minutes, rotating 45 degrees and cooking 2 minutes. At this point, the doneness should be rare, but obviously that will depend on your barbecue and the thickness of the steaks. I strongly suggest using a meat thermometer for precise cooking. Place meat on a plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing and serving!
