Balsamic-Glazed Bison Sirloin Steaks



I love a good sirloin steak! Some people don't know that the sirloin can actually be divided up into several different cuts of sirloin, such as the top sirloin, or bottom sirloin, amongst other cuts. Regardless of what cut of sirloin you choose, it will always be lean and juicy!


If you're on a diet, this tasty treat is perfect for you. Balsamic vinegar carries a number of health benefits. Balsamic vinegar itself contains no fat and virtually no sugar. Like bison, it has been proven to lower cholesterol while being a natural appetite suppressant. In other words, Bison and balsamic are the perfect pair as you start your journey to weight loss and healthy eating habits.


With our recipe below, you too can create this fantastic balsamic-glazed sirloin!


Ingredients:
