How to put together a wild game steak graze board

1. Preheat the grill or smoker to 425-450 degrees F. (medium-high)
2. Bring the bison steaks to room temperature. Then, brush with olive oil and season both sides with steak seasoning of your choice. 
3. Grill 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches the 130-135 degrees F. medium-rare point. 
4. Remove steaks from the grill and let completely cool. 
5. Bring the grill temperature to high. 
6. Add the sliced vegetables to the grill and sear on both sides for about 2 minutes, then remove. 
7. Cut the slices of sourdough bread in half. Then, brush with melted butter and place onto the grill and toast for about 2 minutes on each side. Carefully watch as not to burn. 
8. To prepare your summer steak graze board, first, thinly slice the bison steaks using a sharp fillet knife. Lay the sliced steak at the center of the board. 
9. From there, arrange the cheese, fruit, vegetables, sauces, and toasted sourdough bread around the steak and serve.

Recipe FAQs and Notes

What is a graze board?

A graze board, or grazing platter, is similar to a cheese board or a charcuterie board, but it’s loaded with a variety of small bite foods instead of solely cheese and charcuterie meats. Graze boards can feature fresh ingredients to small appetizers.

What should be on a grazing board?

Whatever you want! Decide what theme you’re going for and build from there. I always recommend having a variety of textures and flavors, depending on the overall theme of my graze board.

How long can a graze board sit out?

Ideally, no more than two hours for most ingredients that require refrigeration, such as cheese and condiments. If your graze board is out in the heat, you might consider only about an hour then refrigerate. You can always store away your graze board items and then pull them out later in the day to graze some more!

Recipe notes

• When planning your board, plan for 3-4 slices of meat per person. This recipe serves 4-6 people. 
• Plan for 1-2 oz. of cheese per person, and provide a variety – strong, stout cheese such as blue, swiss, or sharp cheddar pairs best with steak. 
• For the fresh fruit and vegetables, provide a variety of textures and flavors. Feel free to go beyond what is listed in the recipe!
• Any wild game steaks will work – elk, venison, etc.!
