Instructions
Bison Filet
- Preheat oven to 450°F.

Italian Green Beans and Grape Tomatoes
- Cook beans in a 6-quart pot of boiling water, uncovered, until tender, 4-6 minutes.
- Drain in a colander, then transfer to a large bowl. Toss with oil, parmesan cheese, olives, and tomatoes. Season with pepper to taste.
- Slice bison, and serve with green beans and tomato mixture.
