How to Make Bison Buffalo Pot Roast

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Season the bison roast generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  3. Sear the roast in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.
  4. Add the chopped carrots, celery, and onion to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
  5. Pour in the beef broth, red wine, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well.
  6. Add bay leaves and thyme sprigs to the skillet.
  7. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  8. Cover the skillet and roast for approximately 150-200 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the roast reaches your desired doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium).
  9. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving and serving.
  10. Skim excess fat from the cooking liquid and thicken it on the stovetop if desired, then serve alongside the pot roast.
