Savory Bison Pot Roast Food

BEST FRIEND'S BISON POT ROAST

Steps:

• Place bison pot roast in a large zip lock bag with flour, garlic, salt and pepper. Shake well to coat and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
• Place a heavy bottomed pan on the stove and preheat for 10 minutes on medium low.
• Add vegetable oil and brown the roast well on the first side for 7 minutes and the second side for 5 minutes. Remove and set aside on a platter.
• Add onions to same skillet and saute until soft and clear, about 9 minutes. Add carrots and celery and cook for an additional 11 minutes. For best flavor the vegetables should caramelize.
• Add one heaping tablespoon of tomato paste and continue to saute for an additional 2 minutes.
• Add beef stock or stock/wine mixture. Return roast to pan, bring liquid to a boil and immediately reduce to a simmer.
• Cover and cook on lowest stove top setting for 7 hours OR Set oven temp to 180°F and cook in covered heavy casserole for 8 hours OR Transfer to slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours.
• When the meat is fork tender, remove roast and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

BISON POT ROAST WITH HOMINY

Steps:

• Add the hominy to a large bowl and cover with 3 inches of water. Let soak overnight at room temperature. Drain, discarding the soaking liquid.
• Heat the oven to 250 degrees. Season the bison generously on all sides with 2 tablespoons salt. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high. Add the bison and sear it until browned on all sides, rotating the meat when it releases easily from the pot, about 15 minutes total. Transfer the meat to a plate, then add the drained hominy, stock, sage sprigs, cedar or juniper, and agave to the pot.
• Bring to a simmer over high heat, scraping the bottom of the pot. Return the meat to the pot, cover, transfer to the oven and bake until the meat is very tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours, turning over the bison about halfway through. Remove and discard the sage sprigs and cedar, if using. (If using juniper berries, you can discard them, but it's not necessary: They add surprising flavor and texture when eaten with the meat.) Stir in the greens until wilted. Season the liquid with more salt to taste.
• Slice the meat into 1-inch-thick slabs and divide among shallow bowls. Spoon some of the sauce, hominy and greens over the slices, and garnish with whole or torn sage leaves.

SAVORY BISON POT ROAST

Steps:

• I briefly saute the carrots, celery and parsnips in some coconut or olive oil for a few minutes.
• I flour salt, pepper and a bit of garlic powder to coat the roast and after I pull the veggies out I brown the roast.
• I place the veggies on the bottom of the crock pot and place the browned roast on top.
• Dump the can of Fire roasted tomatoes on top and then top with the slices of sweet onion.
• Pour the wine and balsamic vinegar over the roast and veggies.
• Cook on low for 8-9 hours. I usually turn the roast over at about hour 5-6 and check for doneness. Grass fed meats are prone to toughness if over cooked and Bison is also very lean.
• When done, ladle out around 2 cups of the liquid to a pan and thicken up with flour or corn starch if you want some gravy.
