Rosemary & Garlic Bison Pot Roast Recipe: 

Ingredients:

• • 1 Bison Inside Round Roast, about 2.5 lbs

• • 3 Tbl Ghee

• • 2 Carrots

• • 1 Medium Yellow Onion

• • 3 Celery Ribs

• • 3 Cloves Garlic

• • 2 Cups Bison Broth

• • 3 Cups Water

• • ¾ tsp Salt

• • ½ tsp Black Pepper

• 1 tsp Fresh Chopped Rosemary

*This recipe serves 6 people

Instructions:

1.) Heat 1 Tbl ghee in a large oven-safe pot or dutch oven over medium heat.

2.) Sprinkle bison with ½ tsp salt.

3.) When pot is hot, sear the bison on each side until well-browned and no longer sticks to pan.

4.) Remove bison from pot, set aside.

5.) Add remaining ghee to the pot, then add onions and sauté 5 minutes.

6.) Add 1 cup broth to deglaze the pan.

7.) At this point, if using a slow cooker: Transfer the contents of the pot and all remaining ingredients into the slow cooker, along with the bison. Nestle bison into the liquid. Set on low and cook for about 8-12 hours, until fork tender. I cooked mine overnight in the slow cooker, about 12 hours.

8.) If you are braising on stovetop: Add carrots, celery, and garlic to the pot with the onion, sauté 1 minute, then add remaining ingredients and bison. Nestle bison into the liquid. Cover with the lid and braise over the lowest heat setting until tender, about 3-4 hours.
