Bison filet:
Pepper the bison filet and grill on an oiled grill over medium-high heat for 15 to 20 minutes or more, depending on the desired level of doneness. Flip a few times during cooking. Do not overcook.
Slice the filet and set aside to keep warm.

Deglaze with the wine and reduce by half, stirring a few times.
