Perfectly Seared Denver Cut Bison Steak

Prep the steak Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to let it reach room temperature. Pat the steak dry with paper towels to help it sear properly. Rub both sides with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Sear the steak Heat a cast-iron skillet (or grill) over medium-high heat until very hot. Add a little more oil to the pan and place the steak in the skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms. Reduce heat to medium, add butter and rosemary, and baste the steak for 30-60 seconds with a spoon.
