Ingredients

• One 2 lb. Bison Inside Round Roast (fresh or fully thawed)
• 1/3 cup flour
• 2 tbsp. chopped or granulated garlic
• 1 tsp. coarse sea salt
• 1 tsp. coarse ground pepper
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 medium carrots, diced
• 2 stalks celery
• 1 large leek, sliced
• 1 tbsp. tomato paste
• 2 1/2 cups beef stock or 1 1/2 cups beef stock and 1 cup dry red wine

Instructions

1. Place the bison pot roast in a large zip lock bag with flour, garlic, salt, and pepper. Shake thoroughly to coat and let it sit for 10 minutes.
2. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on the stove over medium-low for 10 minutes.
3. Add the vegetable oil and sear the roast well on the first side for 7 minutes, then flip and sear the other side for 5 minutes. Remove the roast and set it aside on a plate.
4. Add the onions to the same skillet and saut until soft and translucent, about 9 minutes. Stir in the carrots and celery and cook for another 11 minutes. For optimal flavor, let the vegetables caramelize slightly.
5. Stir in one heaping tablespoon of tomato paste and continue sauting for 2 more minutes.
6. Pour in the beef stock or the stock and wine mixture. Return the roast to the pan, bring the liquid to a boil, then immediately lower the heat to a simmer.
7. Cover and cook on the lowest setting on the stove for 7 hours, OR set the oven to 180F and cook in a covered heavy casserole for 8 hours, OR transfer to a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours.
8. When the meat is tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork, remove the roast and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
