Best 4 Best Friends Bison Pot Roast Recipes

BISON POT ROAST

Steps:

• To start, sprinkle the roast liberally with kosher salt on both sides. This will help bring moisture and protein to the surface to help brown the meat.
• Heat up a pan large enough to fit the roast, over medium high heat. Cast iron would be best. Add enough cooking oil to coat the the bottom of your pan,
• Once hot add the roast. Make sure to brown the meat on every side. Whole process should take about 10 minutes.
• Add to the slow cooker.
• Add all the seasonings to the broth. Taste the broth to make sure it's strongly flavored. Add more until it's really strong. Then pour over top the roast.
• Add the sprigs of rosemary on top. Put the lid on the slow cooker, and cook for 6 to 8 hours or until the pot roast falls apart with a fork.

PERFECT POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Generously salt and pepper the chuck roast.
• Heat the olive oil in large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the halved onions to the pot, browning them on both sides. Remove the onions to a plate.
• Throw the carrots into the same very hot pot and toss them around a bit until slightly browned, about a minute or so. Reserve the carrots with the onions.
• If needed, add a bit more olive oil to the very hot pot. Place the meat in the pot and sear it for about a minute on all sides until it is nice and brown all over. Remove the roast to a plate.
• With the burner still on high, use either red wine or beef broth (about 1 cup) to deglaze the pot, scraping the bottom with a whisk. Place the roast back into the pot and add enough beef stock to cover the meat halfway.
• Add in the onions and the carrots, along with the fresh herbs.
• Put the lid on, then roast for 3 hours for a 3-pound roast. For a 4 to 5-pound roast, plan on 4 hours. The roast is ready when it's fall-apart tender.

HERB RUBBED BISON SIRLION TIP ROAST

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine paprika, salt, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
• Stir in oil until well combined. Set aside.
• Trim fat from roast.
• Spread oil mixture over surface of meat.
• Place meat on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
• Roast in a 375 degree F. oven for 15 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Roast 60 to 65 minutes more or until meat thermometer registers 140 degrees F.
• Remove roast from oven.
• Cover roast tightly with foil and let stand in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. The temperature of the meat after standing should be 145 degrees F. (medium rare).
• Thinly slice meat across the grain to serve. Serve with roasted vegetables, if desired.

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.
