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.
