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
- 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.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed pan on the stove over medium-low for 10 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- Stir in one heaping tablespoon of tomato paste and continue sauting for 2 more minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
