Grilled Bison Tenderloin (Unofficial Main Dish)
Game meat is extremely common in outdoorsy Montana, and bison, which requires minimal seasoning, is a clear favorite. Bison tenderloin is often grilled very simply and quickly, and served with potatoes as an evening meal. Many Montanans simply season the dish with store-bought seasoning mixes. Even using a custom mix of spices, this dish suits Montana's easygoing lifestyle. Bison is usually served with boiled or baked potatoes and string beans or another plain green vegetable.
