Bison Steak Gastrique
Gastrique
In plain terms, a gastrique is a sweet-and-sour sauce at its simplest. Sweet, tangy, and just complex enough.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Berries (Blackberries, Blueberries, or Cranberries)
- 2 tbsp Aged Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 tbsp Margerine (for finishing)
- To Taste Fresh Ground Pepper
Prep
- Berries can be fresh or frozen.
- Mash half the berries with a fork or spoon.
Directions
- Combine all ingredients, except margerine, in a sauce pan.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until berries break down (about 8–10 minutes.)
- Simmer until sauce thickens slightly.
- Turn off heat and stir in the margerine to give it a silky finish.
- Spoon over and around bison steaks before serving.
